Don't Forget To Set Your Clocks Back Tonight
When you wake up on Sunday morning you'll be refreshed because of the extra hour you'll get when you set your clock back on Saturday night. Daylight savings time is over. Boo Hoo.
Optical Illusion Garden Backdrop
The forced perspective in the architectural trellis work on the mansion fools the eye into thinking there is depth on a flat wall. Are there any workmen that can create these masterpieces today? I've always admired this artistic workmanship. The photo was scanned from one of my home landscaping books. Have a great weekend.

Grace Kelly Wasn't A Fan of Hollywood
"I hated Hollywood. It’s a town without pity. Only success counts. I know of no other place in the world where so many people suffer from nervous breakdowns, where there are so many alcoholics, neurotics and so much unhappiness. —Grace Kelly"
White Bedroom with Fireplace :: So Nice
I think I'll bed down here tonight with a big roaring fire. We're having damp chilly weather here at the cottage and this room looks nice and cozy for Webster and me. It would be a nice room to wake up there just tomorrow morning to start the weekend. Have a good one.

Beautiful Early American Dollhouse
This is wonderful. I am so glad Nancy Allen's signed dollhouse survived in such good shape. If only those walls could talk. Massive size: 47" high x 5'6" wide. Image found on 1stdibs but was sold.
Mr. Big Ears ~ Two Versions
Isn't this a great photo of a wild hare? I guess they are burrowing in their warrens until spring. I'm not sure what the second long-eared animal will be doing except making us laugh.

Sleeping Here Tonight in My Dreams
I could rest peacefully on a bed of nails tonight and be comfortable I'm so tuckered out. Major tasks accomplished around the cottage and I'm so happy to be able to check so many things off my "to do" list.
This bedroom is fabulous, isn't it? I love it all; the storage underneath and the recessed shelves above instead of a headboard. I love white linens too having just put a white duvet cover on my white down comforter yesterday. The reading lamps are perfect. via

The Reason I Like Fall and Winter
I've always liked the fall and winter landscape too for this very reason.

Turkey Vultures Outside My Cottage
Where were these ugly vultures on Halloween? There have been three sunning themselves in a tree near my studio window but I could only get a good shot of two of them. I just got back from walking Webster following his afternoon feeding. I looked for a dead carcass but couldn't find anything they might have been feeding on so I have to assume they were just enjoying the sun on this cloudless chilly day.
