My Wild Raspberries are Getting Ripe
Every morning I go outside and pick enough wild raspberries from the edge of my woods to put on top of my cereal. You have to get up early to beat the birds. Isn't this raspberry embroidery lovely? xo

Seeing Spots Before My Eyes
Dalmatian Family photo found here
These puppies are adorable and I'm sure they are a handful for the mom. I wonder if they are all spoken for? They look old enough to be living with their "furever" homes. Happy Saturday. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. xo

1928 Construction Work
This image takes my breath away. No helmets, no gloves, leather bottom shoes, no net, just a few wooden boards to walk on, bucket in the way so must step over it, such danger! I am hyperventilating just looking at this image.
