Charming Service Door
The simple geometry of this charming service door at the David Peden house by Harrie T. Lindeberg is just one example of the work of this great architect of the 20th century. I love it. That's creeping fig climbing the walls, not recommended for a wooden structure but fine for brick. Found on Instagram

Ferne Park House
Ferne House is a country house in the parish of Donhead St Andrew in Wiltshire, England. There has been a settlement on the site since 1225 AD. The current house, known as Ferne Park and the third to occupy the site, was designed by architect Quinlan Terry in 2001. The estate grounds straddle both Donhead St Andrew and Berwick St John parishes.

Wise Advise from a Farmer's Wife
Wise Advice from a Farmer’s Wife
Whenever you return a borrowed pie pan, make sure it’s got a warm pie in it.
Invite lots of folks to supper. You can always add more water to the soup.
There’s no such thing as woman’s work on a farm. There’s just work.
Make home a happy place for the children. Everybody returns to their happy place.
Always keep a small light on in the kitchen window at night.
If your man gets his truck stuck in the field, don’t go in after him. Throw him a rope and pull him out with the tractor.
Keep the kerosene lamp away from the the milk cow’s leg.
It’s a whole lot easier to get breakfast from a chicken than a pig.
Always pat the chickens when you take their eggs.
It’s easy to clean an empty house, but hard to live in one.
All children spill milk. Learn to smile and wipe it up.
Homemade’s always better'n store bought.
A tongue’s like a knife. The sharper it is the deeper it cuts.
A good neighbor always knows when to visit and when to leave.
A city dog wants to run out the door, but a country dog stays on the porch ‘cause he’s not fenced-in.
Always light birthday candles from the middle outward.
Nothin’ gets the frustrations out better'n splittn’ wood.
The longer dress hem, the more trusting the husband.
Enjoy doing your children’s laundry. Some day they’ll be gone.
You’ll never catch a runnin’ chicken but if you throw seed around the back door you’ll have a skillet full by supper.
Biscuits brown better with a little butter brushed on 'em.
Check your shoelaces before runnin’ to help somebody.
Visit old people who can’t get out. Some day you’ll be one.
The softer you talk, the closer folks’ll listen.
The colder the outhouse, the warmer the bed.

Mass Planting of Crocuses
I photographed these crocuses at my office on Wednesday after viewing some houses. I think they were probably beaten down by the torrential rain we had all day on Thursday. I hope they survived. I worked outside today and it felt so good. We had nippy weather requiring a wool scarf around my neck, just the kind of day I needed for hard work. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. xo
Cold Puppy
Yup. This photo pretty much describes the temperature outside. Sunny but Cold! Enjoy your Saturday. xo via

Pantry Envy
I recently read something that said the three things that give you great returns in home improvement are LIBRARY, LAUNDRY, AND LARDER. This pantry (larder) is a great example. via

April Showers
April showers bring May flowers.
I woke up to a foggy morning after a rainy day yesterday. My phone says it will clear off later and there will be sunshine but more rain on Thursday. That's fine with me since I've always liked rainy days. See you later. xo

Very Nice White Kitchen
This kitchen looks very nice, doesn't it? I would like to see the whole thing to see if the stove protruding farther than the counters bothers me in person. It bothers me in the photo but it's probably fine (smile).

Season 6 CALL THE MIDWIFE tonight
A friend just texted me that a new season of Call The Midwife on PBS begins tonight at 8pm. Hope you see this in time. If you miss tonight, you can watch it online.
It's 1962 and times are changing, with new leadership and policies at Nonnatus house.
Sunday Morning Sun in My Living Room
I put this photo on Instagram this morning and thought my blog followers might like it too. The sun was shining nicely on my fireplace so I had to leave my cup of hot coffee to capture it. Here's hoping you enjoy your first April Sunday. I'm helping a friend move and it's a beautiful day to be working and doing some heavy lifting. See you later. xo

Lovely Wet Bar in A Butler's Pantry
I love the sink, marble countertop and backsplash and especially the faucet. The framed black and white engravings are perfect too. I like everything I see in this Birmingham, Alabama home. via
Have a great weekend!
