I Love This Old House

Dibs. I saw it first. This is exactly my kind of house. I wouldn't even have to go inside. If the price were right, I would just buy it. It breaks my heart to think it has been abandoned. Wonder where it is? I love the tall broom grass too.

Sunrise With Swans

I thought this sunrise with swans in Bruges, Belgium would be the perfect image to get your week off to a good start. It's beautiful, isn't it? via Pixdaus

Flowers Growing In The Grass

My grass could use a good cutting but I can't make myself mow over the grape hyanciths and wild white violets. Could you? I just learned that the New Jersey State Flower is the common meadow violet. Maybe that's why I have so many. I have purple ones too but I love the contrast of the white ones against their dark green leaves and the grass. They have such sweet pansy-like faces.

Images captured this afternoon in my front yard with my Nikon D40 + Nikon 18-200 lens.

Reading In A Pretty Chair

I've always loved the charming illustrations of Jessie Wilcox Smith. These two children reading together in a wonderful wing chair slipcovered in chintz is one I haven't seen before. It's perfect for today since they seem to be dressed in their Sunday best.

Justin Bieber + Tina Fey SNL Rehearsal

I should have stayed up last night to watch this. Did you see Saturday Night Live? I must admit that I'd never even heard of Justin Bieber until I saw all the promos but now I love him too.

He has a new Audio CD: Justin Bieber ~ My World 2.0

Life's Little Instruction Book | Volume II | Page 9

I like the last one on this page. Some people don't live up to their relatives and others surpass them. Focus on the individual. It's a beautiful sunshiny Sunday here at the cottage and the spring leaves that are beginning to pop make the trees look like impressionist paintings. Have a great day, Rosemary.
