Dog Sledding -- Literally

Hilarious. Found here. There is a video of these crazy dogs sledding here. They look like they are having so much fun.

An Architectural Pineapple in Scotland

The Pineapple at Dunmore Park, Scotland -- I've never heard of this, have you. I've never seen another photo either. Is this a well-kept secret? via What an amazing architectural feat.

Perfect Room for A Christmas Tree

I love the tree and the wreaths hanging inside the beautiful tall windows. It's perfection, isn't it? via

Wreath on Front Door of My Cottage

I put my wreath on the front door recently.

Tabitha likes it.

Webster doesn't care.

Here's the identical first photo with an in-camera filter called cross process done while the photo was still in the iPhone. I like them both.

Good Night All

Everything went well today. Time for everyone to go to bed now. This pair of friends looks very cozy, don't they? via

Blue Spruce at My Cottage

I planted this towering tree as a seedling about 20 years ago. When I moved here I had a tree company bring a grove of "my" trees and transplant them. They all made it and now they shield my cottage from the road.

First Christmas in A New House

I would like to see the back of this house to make sure it has lots of big windows looking out on the mountain view. I put up my wreath yesterday with the white bow like last year in memory of my mother. I have to attend a home inspection today with my buyers and thankfully it's a nice mild day. I hope it goes well so they can proceed with wrapping everything up so they can move in. I'll leave the TV on for Webster since I'll be gone all afternoon. I usually turn off the TV at 9am and switch on NPR on the radio. I've always been that way -- I like background noise. He prefers talk shows to all music and the voices of men rather than women. My mother used to listen to books on tape and he would stick around and listen with her if the reader was a man. image source
