A Pile Of Newly Cut Logs


ll of this firewood that was cut on May 29th last year is almost gone. I hope I will get buttercups in this same spot again. They were so beautiful. You can never tell where they will pop up since they like to jump around from year to year. I had a very busy day yesterday with real estate customers, both buyers and sellers. I think this will be a good year.
I am finally beginning to feel like my old self after the first cold I've had in 3 years. I am not a complainer, I just like to suffer in silence. Now that I'm better, I don't mind telling about it. Webster was the one who suffered the most because his walks were not nearly as plentiful as he would have liked. We played ball yesterday now that all of the snow has melted and that made him very happy. He got the "crazy runs" and made me laugh as he zoomed around at 90 miles an hour. He wore himself out.
Enjoy your Sunday. I know I will. Rosemary

Beautiful Sunrise


A beautiful sunrise is definitely one of the rewards for getting up early. This was the view out my window one morning earlier in the week. Today is almost like spring. No coat needed, a vest is plenty. So nice. Enjoy your weekend, Rosemary.

My Favorite New Year's Card | Letterpress

This is by far my favorite New Year's card. My friend Richard McGeehan always uses the best letterpress stationery. My photo doesn't do the card justice. The wonderful paper is almost as thick as a coaster and the impression is very deep. Thank you Richard.

Here is his design website: http://www.mcgeehandesign.com/
He is very talented and we have been friends for years. The website is relatively new and doesn't begin to show his true talent.

This site is wonderful. You answer four questions and the perfect font is picked out for you based on your answers. Make up a name. The password is 'character'. You must do this before you can enter the site. It is fabulous. What type are you? Wasn't that fun?

Orangutan And Dog Are Soul Mates

One of my readers (she has a brand new blog) sent me a wonderful video this morning about a very unusual friendship between an orangutan and a dog at the Tigers Sanctuary in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Watch it. It will definitely make your day. It's very uplifting and so happy. Enjoy.
