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

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

Beautiful Frost Patterns on a Window

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?

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
