Isn't this the sweetest thing you've ever seen? I love the decorative pattern that was worked into the thatched roof. Only in England can you see these. A few people in New Jersey tried putting these on outbuildings but I don't think they ever caught on. I think it proved to bee too expensive to import craftsmen from Britain. I love the random patches of daffodils too. My first full day of Spring was excellent. Hope yours was too. Rosemary
The three pups are showing cooperation and teamwork at an early age.
Bibury village is a popular visitor attraction situated in the Cotswolds Gloucestershire a few miles from Cirencester. This is a place I somehow missed in all my travels to the Cotswolds, my favorite section of England. I've been to Cirencester, so close but now so far. Boo Hoo.
I honestly think poppies are my favorite flowers. Is there anything prettier than a meadow full of red ones? I think not.
Did that blog title get your attention? It certainly got mine. I've lived my whole life and never once thought about making anything out of tampons. Certainly not a massive chandelier. It's in a gallery in Lisbon.
"The sun rises over Stonehenge as druids celebrate the Spring Equinox at Stonehenge near Amesbury, Wiltshire, England. Several hundred druids and pagans were granted special access to the ancient monument to mark the date in the calender when the length of the day and the night are equal (this happens twice a year, at Spring and Autumn Equinox). To the druids Spring Equinox celebrates the renewed life of the Earth that comes with spring and attribute the changes that are going on in the world to an increase in the powers of their God and Goddess."

The grass is getting green, can the hedges and trees be far behind?
Today is the first day of spring or the in astronomical terms the vernal equinox when the sun crosses the equator on its journey toward the Tropic of Cancer or the Tropic of Capricorn. Spring lasts until the start of summer at the summer solstice.
Another beautiful day is dawning at my house. Have a wonderful weekend. Rosemary
