Mansion in May | Designer Showcase House and Gardens | To Benefit Morristown Memorial Hospital








Women's Association - Morristown Memorial Hospital - 2010 Mansion in May:
The Woman’s Association of Morristown Memorial Hospital is pleased to announce its 15th Mansion in May Designer Showhouse and Gardens at Fawn Hill Farm in Harding Township, New Jersey during May of 2010.

Fawn Hill Farm, one of the largest intact estates within the New York City sphere, is also replete with picturesque pastures, ponds, stable and barns and adjoins miles of equestrian trails that lace Harding Township. Remarkable in its extravagant scope and pristine condition, Fawn Hill is a mansion extraordinaire.

My real estate office went to the Weichert-sponsored preview of this landmark event on Thursday night and it was wonderful. I was rushed pulling up the rear as my coworkers dashed through in a hurry to get to the tent with food and drinks. I didn't get to linger in any of the rooms and can't wait to go back. I didn't have a chance to even peek into any of the shops in the carriage houses either. I took all of these photos...none were allowed inside the mansion.

Let me know if you are interested in purchasing this fine estate. It's for sale by my agency. I'd love to show it to you. I live just down the street.

Sunrise Over Fields of Flowers

Here's hoping your day is as lovely as this photo. That sun looks hot, doesn't it? I went to the library in Morristown just before it closed at 5pm yesterday. The time and temperature sign on the bank I passed on the way registered 95 degrees. It was way too hot for me but I mowed grass anyway. I'll finish my hand trimming this morning while it's still cool. See you later, Rosemary

Goodnight, Time For A Movie

I'm about as tired as this pile of spotted puppies sleeping on the painter's drop cloth. Think I'll pop a movie in the DVD player and enjoy the evening. Sleep tight when you turn in. See you tomorrow, Rosemary.
