Goodnight, See You Tomorrow Morning.

Webster and his friends are ready for bed and I will be too pretty soon.

Actress Katharine Hepburn Honored on Postage Stamp

"Katharine Hepburn, star of such classic movies as 'African Queen' and 'Little Women,' took her place on a U.S. postage stamp this past Wednesday.

The 44-cent stamp was dedicated in ceremonies in Old Saybrook, Conn., and is on sale nationwide.

The red-haired actress becomes the 16th star to be honored on the U.S. Postal Service's Legends of Hollywood stamp series.

During her long career Hepburn won four Academy Awards, the first for her performance in 'Morning Glory' in 1933.

Her other Oscar performances were in 'Guess Who's Coming to Dinner,' 1967; 'The Lion in Winter,' 1968, and 'On Golden Pond,' 1981." USPS.com

Vintage Red Porch Glider

Which way would you want to face while sitting on this great vintage red porch glider? Maybe it looks out on an equally gorgeous view and it probably does. I'd love to have a glider like this for my balcony. Photo from Country Living magazine. Have a great weekend.

Cubby Love


Swoon I always stop to check out photos with walls of cubbies. I know there are lost of you out there that like them too. Happy Friday. I finished my mowing this morning before I even had a second cup of coffee. I will do the front today hopefully. Have a great day. I'll be back later.

Pardon Me! Insects Having a Private Moment.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Longlegs,
I think I captured your insect intimacy without even realizing it until I started processing the photo. Sorry. Next time pick a spot away from my front door so I can't see you.
Thanks, Rosemary

I took this photo of a dragonfly almost a year ago over Memorial Day Weekend 2009.

Miniature Cast Iron Urn

I couldn't believe my luck when I found not one but two of these cast iron urns in a rare small size at a garage sale for $1.00 each. I have them planted with succulents and they give me lots of pleasure sitting on my kitchen windowsill. This one is photographed in front of my favorite set of antiquarian books with hunting motifs on the spines of the fine leather bindings. Life is good!
