Fabulous Bathroom with Shelving

This is delightful to look at isn't it? I guess you have to stand in the bathtub to arrange the towels on the shelves, right? I love the acorn shades on the sconces. via

Coming Soon to A Location Near You

We had a dusting of snow overnight but sun and blue skies with white puffy clouds are overhead at lunch time. My daffodils are in the new bud stage. Can't wait. via

Young Goat Adopts Ducklings

A young goat kid has become ‘mum’ to a brood of ducklings who have no mum because they were hatched in an incubator at Pennywell Farm in Devon UK. Such a nice story!

Lazy Day Cat

This was what I did all day today, with reading and movie watching thrown in for good measure. It was just that kind of day and I thoroughly enjoyed it too. There is absolutely nothing to watch tonight on TV, no Downton, no The Good Wife. I hope I have something good on my DVR and I'm sure I must, otherwise I'll read. Rain tonight and tomorrow. Enjoy your Sunday night. xo via

Powder Room Under The Stairs

Great idea. It even has a window. via

Beautiful Frost Patterns on a Window

I loved photographing window frost at my former home with old single-pane windows in a few rooms. It's very cold today with a dusting of snow coming tomorrow. via This photo is from an old farm in the Champlain Valley of Vermont.

I herded them to the heat register.

Fabulous UK Garden Shed

Just in time for Spring, only 21 days away.

Lovely Brick Cottage

I am always a fan of dwellings that have low maintenance exteriors and this one passes my test with flying colors. Isn't it charming? Stone foundation, brick exterior, stone-floored open porch, copper gutters, and natural landscaping. LOVE! via

Far From The Madding Crowd starring Carey Muliigan

Have you taken your lamb in a basket out for a carriage ride today? This is a screen capture I made while watching Far From The Madding Crowd on my iPad. It was wonderful and I enjoyed it so much. I love Carey Mulligan. This is a 2015 remake of an older movie starring Julie Christie, based on the book by Thomas Hardy.


If you are unable to watch the trailer above, click here. Carey Mulligan has a beautiful voice, doesn't she?

Winds of Change

I choose windmills. via

Big Shade Tree with Sheep

via
I think it's exciting to think about leaves on the trees, don't you? That storm we had a couple of nights ago knocked down some big branches that Webster and I have already picked up on one of our walks. Yesterday felt like spring in the early part of the day but got colder as the day progressed. I pruned my Limelight hydrangeas and now I'm ready for them to start putting out new growth. Happy Friday. xo

vogue:

“I feel so comfortable in my own skin. I really like how I look, I like who I am, I like everyone that I surround myself with.”

Read the Adele ~ Vogue cover story here.

She's in a very good place, isn't she? Maybe that's why we love her so much.
