How can I get rid of the +1 Button?

A while ago this strange button appeared on my blog. I didn't ask for it, I don't like it, and I do not want it. Does anyone know how I can get rid of it or 'opt out'? After watching this video on YouTube I now know what it is...but I'm sure nobody else does. Is it on your blog too?



A Follower on Twitter sent me the instructions and I edited my template and removed the +1 Button without taking away the nice share buttons. Instructions here. So happy now.

Poppies | Watercolor by Marney Ward

I love this poppy watercolor by the talented Canadian artist Marnie Ward discovered  here. Finding lovely things is one of the best things about the Internet. I was so happy this morning when someone finally found a photo she had spent two years searching for on my blog via one of my pins on Pinterest. 

I mowed grass until 8:15 last night and I must do some raking now. See you later.

Breezeway Love

Don't you just love this summer house with the wonderful breezeway overlooking the ocean? *

Giraffe Under A Tree

I guess this is what you do when you are a giraffe. Eat all the leaves you can reach and then stand under the tree until someone takes your picture. I love the mist in the background.

Another Small White Kitchen to Love

Oh my, I do love this kitchen too. The slate farm sink, backsplash and countertops are wonderful with the black stove and nickel hardware. Love it a whole lot. It's so well thought out.

White Kitchen to Love

I like it, don't you? Just white and stainless steel with natural wood. Splashes of color via the rug, cookware, food and spices. I could cook up a storm in this room. Image via Architectural Digest.

Zen Yoga Dog

Ha! This is so great!

Prince Philip Then and Now

Prince Philip with his mother Princess Andrew of Greece and Denmark (Princess Alice of Battenberg).

Prince Philip was 90 a few days ago. Doesn't he look great?

Prince Philip breaks into his sandwich box for a snack in the shade of a stone house built by Queen Victoria for Prince Albert at Balmoral. Everyone likes to sneak off and eat a sandwich alone it seems.

All images borrowed from Lotie Tea where the kettle's always on.
