Weekend Pics Around My Cottage, Inside & Out

This is the second year for these snowdrops that were transplanted and they are loaded with flower heads.

Wild raspberry hoops swaying in a gentle breeze.

The beginning of a walk to the way back to pick up sticks.

Heading back home. I like to keep my property stick free and it's easy to do every day when I go out on stick patrol. 

Everybody likes this little room off my kitchen. It was once a screened-in porch. I love sitting here with my computer, looking out the front window with the tin cat figure. A geranium is wintering over at the back window. 

Another view showing more of the floor space.

Happy Monday. Hope you are having a nice day.

NEW BIRD PHOTOS

Mourning Dove looking to the right,


Here she is looking to the left with her tail feathers in the water.


Male cardinal feeding from the ground.


The sun was at the perfect angle to capture this male cardinal's true color. He wears his red feathers proudly, doesn't he?

Enjoy this lovely Sunday.

Good Morning Sun

Sunday morning coffee time in front of the tv watching Antiques Roadshow from Palm Springs on PBS. I haven's raised my other shade yet.

My view from the front window looking at my across-the-street neighbor's red barn. The blue sky and the bright morning sun are so very welcoming.
I hope your Sunday is lovely too.

Snowdrops are for Sharing

I discovered some rogue snowdrops on a bank where I threw some weeds from one of my beds with snowdrops and daffodils. It's impossible to weed those areas and not pull up snowdrop bulbs so I am careful to dispose of the weeds in a designated area. Each spring I have blooming bulbs to share with friends. I took these two pots to a friend who lost her mom recently and told her to plant them where she can see them. They always bloom in February and will be the start of her memory garden.
Have a great weekend.

Two Great Alphabets to Clip & Save




I found these vintage alphabets and the scissors when I was looking at some of my old posts. My new template made it so easy for me to share these large photos without having to struggle so much to resize them for you and this makes me so happy. These alphabets would be great to print, clip and paste the individual letters for one-of-a-kind cards for any occasion. Click to enlarge the images.

Happy Friday
