Forest Green Door Rocks This Entrance

I wouldn't have the gathered sheer curtains on the side lights, but I like everything else. Maybe a larger lantern hanging from the overhead cornice too. via

Swimming Hole in The Sea

Have a great weekend and enjoy one of the few last weekends of summer. Isn't this natural swimming hole in the sea great? via

Dragonfly Photographed at My Cottage

Click photo to enlarge.

I snapped this dragonfly earlier today with my iPhone on an after breakfast walk with the wonder dog. Honestly, these insects are aliens with gossamer wings, for sure. my photo 

South Carolina barrier island home designed by Herlong and Associates.

I love the floating ceiling detail in this fabulous kitchen. It defines the open space without the addition of walls. via

Beautiful Hollyhocks

These hollyhocks are a beautiful study in pink and green, aren't they? Sorry I haven't been posting as much as usual. I've been mowing and weeding and all sorts of cottage catching up. Front and back mowed yesterday and today and it looks fabulous. Real estate continues to keep me busy too. Fall is definitely in the air and we are having a very cool August. 

I really enjoyed the second episode of Broadchurch last night. I've been searching for more full episodes for those of you who don't have BBC America. So far, no success. The DVD has been released in the UK so it's only a matter of time before it's available here. It really is a wonderful series. Good night, see you tomorrow.

BROADCHURCH Tonight on BBC America Episode 2

I can hardly wait until 10pm for Episode 2 of Broadchurch on BBC America. Here's a preview of tonight's episode. Click here if video doesn't appear above. If you missed Episode 1 you can watch it here. Good night, see you tomorrow.

Dog Rules for the Literary Canines

I took a quick iPhone photo of this sign in a house I was showing yesterday. It was hanging over two dog beds.  Webster can't read so he doesn't need a sign. He's practically perfect, you know! 

Another Blue Cottage Door and Window

This one is lovely too. I like the little trap door within the door for getting mail and packages and seeing who is there. Of course you could always look out the window, couldn't you? I love the roof and the brick walk and the giant plantings. Good night friends. Sleep tight. via
