I saved this fabulous weathervane to my computer because I love it so much! This goat was made circa 1880 and has survived with most of its yellow undercoat topped with gold leaf. The patina is wonderful! via

Fabulous Screened Porch in Bellport, Long Island NY
The dining area of a fabulous screened porch attached to an 1850s shingled cottage in Bellport. The owner, Elizabeth Roberts, is an architect based in Brooklyn. I honestly don't think I could stop looking at the ceiling if I were there in person.
This porch view overlooks the delightful pool and some wonderful landscaping. Want to go inside the cottage? Really? OK. Here's the link.

Wonderful Color Woodcut of Nasturtiums
Hall Thorpe (1874 - 1947) - Nasturtiums. Color woodcut. How much do I love this? As much as I love nasturtiums? YES! via

Great Galley Kitchen + Irish Cottage
Yup. I could cook here quite nicely. I love diamond stained floor and the topiary window. I would prefer the view to be a country one though. I don't know about having an open window opposite other open windows, especially at night. I had a galley kitchen once in a rental and loved it. via
Thanks in advance♡

Clouds at My Cottage: July 4th Sundown
The clouds last night (July 4th) were amazing at sundown. Hope you had a great holiday. I had the overgrown part of my field mowed yesterday and now I can see all the way down to the way back.

Shakespeare's Daughter's House with 17thC Garden
I copied the two photos above (with my phone) from one of my coffee table gardening books, "The Garden, A Celebration" Edited by Howard Loxton. I love the timber-framed house called Hall's Croft and the rear garden with no blank spaces for the weeds to grow. It looks care free but we all know there's no such thing.🪴
Enjoy the long July 4th weekend extending into Monday.
