Eva Cassidy ~ Songbird [Video]




Eva Cassidy really does have the voice of an angel. I didn't discover her until years after her untimely death in 1999. She was featured on The Today Show after becoming the #1 artist in the UK achieving an overwhelming posthumous recognition. This was the first music CD I ever ordered online and it's still my favorite. Songbird by Eva Cassidy

Fabulous Setting In Washington State


I'm so liking this contemporary house on Dabob Bay in Washington State. Wouldn't you spend all of your time looking and/or being outdoors? What a spectacular setting.

Happy Easter 2010

I love the image on this vintage Easter postcard. It reminds me of my early years when every single thing I put on to wear to church on Easter Sunday was brand new and sewed with love by my mother. When did she have the time? She made my brother's clothes too as well as her own. She and I always wore white cloves. So much has changed, hasn't it? We have more free time but we get less done. Happy Easter everyone. It's a beautiful day here at the cottage and there's a ham in the oven. Yum.

Vintage Easter Postcards




I love the message on the last vintage postcard:
A HAPPY EASTER
May every cloud above you
give way to skies of blue,
And on this Easter morning
let only joy shine through.

I Found A Broken Bird's Egg

I found this broken bird's egg on my early evening walk with Webster last night. I photographed it against the end papers of a book illustrated with feathers and eggs. I'm glad it wasn't a blue robin's egg. It was out in the middle of an open field with no trees nearby. How did it get there? Did a bigger bird rob the nest? Boo Hoo. Have a nice Easter. My Lens: Nikon 18-200 zoom with vibration reduction.
My Camera: Nikon D-40 digital SLR. 

Time To Clean The Greenhouse

If I had a greenhouse it would be full of seedlings ready to plant outside as soon as the ground is warm enough and the danger of a killing frost has passed. That date is usually the weekend after Mother's Day but I think it will be earlier this year. I already have my geraniums outside after wintering over in the house. I can always cover them at night if it gets cold again.
