Primitive Cabin in The Snow

Let's go inside and light a big fire. I love the big windows. Have a nice evening and I'll see you tomorrow. Sleep tight when you turn out the light. via

Cape Cod Remodel - Before and After

Before. An unimpressive cape cod home in a great location.

After. It pays to hire a great architect.

This house is near me on one of my favorite streets. I can hardly believe my eyes when I look at this transformation. Isn't it wonderful? Arturo Palumbo Architecture

Claude Monet Snow Scene

So very lovely.

Dr. Webster is so smart.

The wisdom of my dog is absolutely amazing. Webster was limping a little this morning on his left paw and he knew exactly what to do.

He arranged his blue blanket and his stuffed zebra just right in a pile.

How did he know to elevate it? Anyway, ever since he fixed himself, he's been sleeping peacefully. Before that he would whimper almost inaudibly every once in a while.

Polar Vortex Dog

Wake me when it's spring.

Webster has been a real trooper during this deep freeze but he's missing his long walks. Tabitha has been a little champ too. How are your animals holding up?

Perfect Photo Arrangement

I'm impressed. This couldn't have been easy! I wonder if they made a template first? via

Best Reading Nook Ever!

I would put a custom cushion on the window seat.

I would like to go inside and check out this reading nook, wouldn't you? I love the pediment over the doorway. via

Fresh Beets Daily for Me!

A bunch of fresh beets on my farm table.

Well, I could be telling you about how cold it is here but instead I'll blog about beets. I picked up a fresh bunch at the market yesterday and I'll be eating them raw. This has been part of my daily routine since mid-November. I should have taken the photo yesterday before the greens started to wilt in my refrigerator. These are nice big ones and I'm thrilled. Webster is too because I'll cook the greens for him. I already have plenty of fresh greens for myself. I decided in November that I should do everything within my power to keep healthy and decided to improve my eating habits. Maybe this article will convince you to add beets to your diet too. I peel mine with a potato peeler and cut into cubes which I shred in my food processor. I have perfected the method so it's not as messy as when I first started. One of my favorite dishes is hot wilted greens, topped with hot black-eyed peas, topped with cold grated raw beets. It's delicious! That's what I'm having for dinner tonight. Stay snug and warm and I'll be back later. xo
