Ducky Fireplace

I like the bird tiles surrounding this fireplace. My iPhone photo was taken on the fly at an open house yesterday. The original owners must have been birders.

Spring Views thru My iPhone Lens


Today was a lovely day and I went to a realtor open house that had a fabulous view. Snapped with my iPhone.

When I got to the bottom of the steep hill where the house was located, I took a closer view of the barn with a blue roof. Spring has arrived in New Jersey!

It's very sweet, isn't it, and the setting is wonderful. via

Jessica The Hippo -- She's A House Pet

Please promise me you will watch this heart warming video about a coffee-drinking hippo in South Africa named Jessica.

Click here to watch it on YouTube if it doesn't show up for you in my post. I always tuck in my animals at night but I honestly can't imagine tucking in a hippo. Her nighttime routine will definitely make you smile.

Woodchipped Garden Path

I simply must spread my pile of woodchips to keep down the weeds near my front entrance. This garden inside and outside the picket fence is fabulous, isn't it? via

Deck Decor

Have you started getting ready for outdoor living yet? I have worked on the deck floor of my balcony for the past three days and it's looking better. This one looks perfect, doesn't it? via


Mine will look better as the sun bleaches it daily. I still have to clean the furniture.
