Garden, Tool, Wood Shed - Nice Paint

I photographed this woodshed on Sunday when I was out and about attending an Open House tour with a friend. Don't you love the paint colors?

Ice Igloo: Best Parent Project Ever!

An igloo constructed out of milk cartons filled with colored water and frozen. Snow is the mortar that holds the ice building blocks together. Isn't this the coolest thing you have ever seen? I guess you would have to start saving milk cartons way ahead of time. The colored ice blocks would freeze outside and wouldn't require a freezer. This would be something you would remember for the rest of your life. I want one too. The tunnel leading into the igloo is made of the ice blocks too. via

I am Sherlocked. Are you?

The Year for Firewood

This photo reminds me that I need to bring more firewood from the garage into the house. How is your supply holding out? There's no shortage around here thanks to all the trees we lost in superstorm Sandy. via

I was so happy when I got back from the post office a while ago. Webster was waiting for me at the door. He had a really good night last night. He came to the kitchen when he heard me mixing his breakfast kibble too. We can learn from our animals. Throw in the towel and take to the bed when you are ailing. Rest is the best medicine!

Edward Hopper's Art Ledgers

A page from one of Edward Hopper’s art ledgers, a record his wife kept of paintings he made. (He’d sketch the finished painting, she’d write the notes.) This is such a good idea. It could be applied to many things, such as the books you've just read. via
