Baby Owl or is it an Owl Baby?

Adorable ~ Emma the Owl is ready for her first Halloween. The link has one more photo of this sweet little bird. I hope her diaper bag gets filled with Trick or Treat goodies like teething biscuits and stuffed toys.

Typography/Calligraphy Skull

Isn't this fabulous? A master-work of typography by Joby Cummings, wherein each of the seven deadly sins is woven into the likeness of a skull. Perfect for Halloween. via

More Fall Color

A closer look at the oakleaf hydrangea leaf showing off its beautiful fall color.

Another view of my friend's entrance to a secret garden with pool and an open yard with beautiful mature landscaping.

I had no time to blog today so I'm showing two more photos from last Sunday morning. See you in the morning.

Beautiful Office and Work Space for Two

I love the rolling portfolio stand and the blue bulletin boards. Martha Stewart always comes up with some beautiful and very organized work spaces. The blue boards have me puzzled. At first I thought they were painted corkboard but after looking more closely I think they're magnetic. I've always wanted one of those expanding collators like the one in the open cabinet. I'm not so sure about the three-legged chairs; they don't look very stable to me.

Rainy Wednesday At My Cottage

There wasn't a leaf in sight when I finished mowing the back yesterday. All of these fell overnight.

I'll take care of the longish grass in the front the next clear dry day.

I swept the front walk last night at 6:00 pm. I am the only person I ever see in my neighborhood using a broom and a rake. Everyone else uses those horrible leaf blowers. I'm enjoying this warm rainy day.

I still have geraniums blooming on the deck too.

So Nice!

I love this . . . don't you? The blue sky with the big white puffy clouds really sets off the second photo. I think this setting would be beautiful on a gloomy day too. 

French Bulldog Love

Have you ever seen anything cuter? I want the one in the middle. I'm going to babysit for a white one who is 6 months old while the owner (my friend Kelly) goes away for Thanksgiving. Webster and I are soooo excited. His name is Piggie and he is white with fawn spots. Can't wait!!!
