Free Range Breakfast plus more . . .

I picked some wild raspberries this morning to eat with my yogurt. They were so delicious. Nothing is the market can compare to the taste of these tart freshly-picked berries.

A window in an abandoned barn in the Great Swamp Wildlife Refuge.

A pink petunia in my garden last summer.

The most beautiful blue weed that is appearing now.

Pink cosmos in my garden this morning.

Joe-Pye Weed in the garden is so beautiful. I pulled this up from a field nearby last year and just stuck it in the ground and it's thriving. Tall and beautiful.

Feeling extremely lazy this morning . . .

I slept late this morning and decided to celebrate Wordless Wednesday with nothing but photos I found here and there while surfing the web recently. Enjoy. Thanks for stopping by the cottage. Hope you find these saves to be inspiring in some way. ♥Rosemary

Life's little Instruction Book, pages 112 + 113 . . .

...To be continued...

I was tempted to change 376 from wife to spouse but didn't. Don't forget this book was written by a father for his son. Have a great day. It's raining in New Jersey and we need it. Thanks for stopping by the cottage. ♥Rosemary

Seed Saving Envelopes | Free Download . . .

I created another seed saver envelope as a free download for you.

I am still working on seeds from last summer. My friend Lynn brought me some of her black eyed susan tops from the Berkshires and they are nice and dry now. Later on today I plan on dealing with them and putting the seeds in my new packets.

Click on the image above and then print it. I wanted these envelopes to be somewhat smaller than my previous designs and I wanted two to a page. Enjoy.

Sweet red cherries are the best . . .

I ate so many of these cherries over the weekend. They are perfect plain, but I do prefer them chilled. I wouldn't even consider doing anything else to them. Cherry pie is for fall; sweet stemmed cherries are for summer. YUM!

An amazing video to entertain you . . .

This is a video story in stop motion. The people shot 60.000 pictures, developed 9.600 prints and shot over 1.800 pictures again. No post production! Watch it and be absolutely amazed!
