All of May is National Bike Month

Which of these classic bikes would you like to jump on and take a long ride down a beautiful country road with no vehicular traffic? I must choose the middle one because it has a basket for my camera.

First Hummingbird Sighting Today

I hung my hummingbird feeder a couple of weeks ago outside my kitchen window. I've noticed that the level of the sugar-water solution I prepared has been going down and today I found out why. Those tiny birds have discovered their sweet nectar and have been feasting while I wasn't looking. It's going to be hard to get decent pictures through the screen. When it gets warmer I'll have to hide out on the balcony and wait, camera in hand. I am thrilled. Stay turned for more hummingbird news.

I had to bring my cilantro and thyme indoors because of the recent cold snap.

Bookmark This Bookmark :-)

Don't you love the floral nosegay used as a bookmark? How pretty these posies look inside the antiquarian book. The sun is finally shining brightly at my house and there is a heavy dew this morning. When everything dries out I have lots of mowing to do. Have a wonderful Thursday. I'll be back later, Rosemary.

Path Covered by Arched Rose Arbors

Is it dark yet? Can I go to bed while it's still light outside? Eight o'clock is usually my bewitching hour to jump under the covers and watch prime time TV. When I turn out the lights and fall asleep I hope I'll dream about this beautiful rose garden. Goodnight. See you tomorrow morning.

Such A Busy Mom

I though I was busy until I found this photo of a Mama Duck and her 10 precious yellow ducklings. She really has her wings full, doesn't she? I am simply swamped with paperwork and am working as hard as I can to dig myself out. Luckily it is too cold and wet to work outside.

Such good taste was shown in this renovation of a circa 1900 New Jersey farmhouse. Agreed?
