Stitchwort
I've never heard of this lovely little flower. I looked it up and found it's in the same family as chickweed. My grandmother was always complaining about the latter as being her arch nemesis, so I suppose stitchwort is a weed too. The flower is lovely, isn't it? I have enough weeds, so I'll pass on having this in my garden but it's welcome to invade my back field. I'll look for it. via
My Budding Peony Plants
Peony bud at my cottage this morning after a day of rain yesterday.
My peonies are doing so well this year. This is their third year at my cottage since I dug them up with permission from a lady who was having a garage sale prior to selling a house. She was the daughter of the deceased owner and she said her mother would be pleased someone wanted them. I have three plants and each variety is different. They get so much more sun this year thanks to Hurricane Sandy.

Antique Pocket Sundial dated 1585
An Elizabethan gilded pocket sundial by Augustine Ryther dated 1585. Made for Sir George St Paul, a Lincolnshire squire. via I can't think of anything I'd rather own at the moment even though there is no sun on this rainy Sunday.
A Wonderful Terrace
Such elegant and understated beauty. It must be delightful to sit here and enjoy the beautiful views in all directions. Now I want to see the house, don't you? via
Just for Fun
I broke down and turned on the heat yesterday and this morning to knock off the chill. I don't know if this pup is enjoying warm air or cool air but he certainly seems to be loving the breeze. via
