Big Table Covered with Big Books

Big tables were meant for big books. I'd love to sit here all day and scoot my chair around reading them, wouldn't you?

Cottage in A Maze | Must See!

This must be the gardener's cottage. He works on his own land after long hours at the manor house. I'm just making this up because I am still trying to comprehend what my eyes are seeing. I want to know more, don't you?

I have a busy day ahead so I won't see you until much later.

Michael Donnellan, of Summerhill Landscapes, planted boxwood at the entrance.

Hedgehog Tunnel Vision

Poor little guy. I hope the photographer pulled the toilet paper roll off this little hedgehog's head. Animals can be ever so helpless at times. via The Animal Blog

Humane Taxidermy | Cable Knit Deer Head

The person who made this fabulous knitted deer head should immediately make a small red pom pom and pin it on his nose. Then he would be Rudolph. It would be great with a big wreath around its neck too. The source was etsy.com but when I clicked on the link it said the page no longer existed.
