Two Stunning DIY Ideas

Don't you love this herringbone floor? Guess what? It's ceramic tile. via

I have no idea how these appliances were decorated. Paint? Stickers? What? Love them. Both photos are DIY ideas from.....drumroll.......HOME DEPOT. via

A Close Call.

This old house nearby lost its front porch during Hurricane Sandy but I think it was lucky.

It could have been much worse. The poor houe is deteriorating fast and I fear it will probably be torn down. 

We are having a very gray morning here at my cottage as we await the coming snow. The snow map the weather people are showing puts us right on the line for light snow and heavy snow. I hope it's the former. I'll be watching the Oscars tonight, will you? I haven't seen one single movie on the list but I enjoy the awards, and the Red Carpet beforehand.

A Sheep and A Selfie

Not far from me is a house with a barn in the front yard and a few sheep. This one posed nicely for me.

I was happy when leaving a small strip mall because I finally found a black bumper for my iPhone for $6.99 at Radio Shack. Yay. So I took a selfie, posing in my outside mirror.

I can't believe it's March, can you? It came in like a lamb and it was an absolutely beautiful day. We'll see if it goes out like a lion at the end of the month. Have a great rest of the weekend. xo

Tabitha in Watercolor + Frozen Stream

Your wish is my command. Here is Tabitha's requested watercolor portrait painted with the Waterlogue App on my iPhone.

Webster and I went for a walk in the woods at sunset last night. It is so cold that all of our deep snow can finally be walked upon without caving in. It felt good to be able to stretch my legs outside and look for something to photograph. It looks lovely outside this morning as we wait for our next winter storm. All of my gutters have melted except for a small portion of the one over my front door. I predict that Mother Nature will wait until it has melted completely before she starts up again. Enjoy your Saturday! xo

Miss Tabitha says Hello

I take way too many pictures of Webster and too few of Tabitha. What's that on the rug? Be right back. Found a penny! 

Her's another pic of the sweet girl. She is very hard to photograph. I think she's camera shy because I never can capture her true beauty. I'll keep trying!

Good Laughs at Downton Abbey

Here's a little peek at what goes on before the camera is turned on at Downton. They seem to be enjoying a good behind the scenes laugh and that makes me giggle too. But I'm sad I'll have to wait so long before I see them again. via

How Cold is It?

Well, it's not as cold as it is in this Greenland photo. Right now it's 7° here at my cottage but it feels like -2° even though there's no wind and bright sun. It's cozy inside and both animals are sleeping in the sun after their early morning outing and breakfast. Webster loves it when I feed him before I have my first sip of coffee. See you later. xo

Dictionary Page and Old Books

Sorry I'm so late posting today. I had an early meeting that lasted way too long. This is an old photo saved to my computer with no source. I've always loved this dictionary page printed with an image of a stack of old books.
