Sleeping Corgi Puppy w/ Blue Bandana

I am planning to sleep as soundly as this adorable Corgi pup when I tuck in tonight after a long and productive day of weeding. Zzzzzz. I'll watch The Chorus on BBC America before turning off the light.

Remembering Daffodils

As I weed my pathetic garden I can vaguely remember my excitement this past spring when my daffodils were in bloom. This one was in my kitchen window.

Birds on the Walls and Dogs on the Furniture

I love the arrangement of these framed Studer/Jasper bird prints on the walls and I love the little dogs on the beautiful chair as well. This photo was scanned from a page I ripped out of an old magazine. I have quite a few of these original antiquarian ornithological prints . . . I saved this image for framing inspiration.

Perfect Table

I love the way this trestle table fits exactly under the window. Love the director's chair too. I just moved my antique drafting table into my tiny pantry and it fits under the window as if it were made for the spot. It is so cozy to sit there and be able to look outside to the front and see the garden, birdbath, the road, and people walking by or riding bikes. I can sit there and read magazines, cookbooks, just fun stuff...no paying bills. That's for upstairs in my studio. I shall photograph the new setup soon. When you rearrange your furnishings they seem like new possessions, don't they? Photo source here.
