Ants have Aphid Friends: Who Knew?

“Ants and the Aphids” (© Prathamesh Ghadekar. All rights reserved.) Winner, Natural World. Aphids and ants coexist in a symbiotic relationship: The aphids suck the sap of plants and then secrete a substance called honeydew that feeds the ants, who in turn protect the aphids from predators.

Wonderful Country Kitchen

I have been saving this photo on my desktop for ages and I have no idea where I found it. Later today I'll search for the photo source. Isn't this a wonderful country kitchen? Don't you want to pull up a chair and have a cup of coffee? The drop-leaf table is all set up for that and acts as a kitchen island as well. I am calling the blue and white checked table covering oil cloth. Can you still buy that? It lasted forever and was so much easier to wipe down than to launder and iron a tablecloth. I grew up in the era when nothing was used rough dried but had to be starched and ironed. That was the only household task my mother despised. xo

Best Repurposed Under Sink Cabinet

This sink cabinet juts out into the room like a piece of furniture that has been converted for use in the kitchen. Designed by Gregory Vaughan of Kelley Designs, Inc. I honestly thought this was an old piece of furniture that was repurposed. It's fabulous, isn't it? More kitchen trends here.
