The Urban Farmhouse Look

I like this sophisticated country look. See more photos here. It's crisp and clean and uncluttered.

Great Quote about Possessions

I love this quote. I released lots of snow on my walk and on my car this morning and it made me happy. The bright sun is doing a nice job of melting the driveway, just as I hoped it would. Happy first full day of spring. Have a great weekend. xo

First Day of Spring 2015 New Jersey Style

Mother Nature is having her last hurrah before ushering in spring. I took this photo about 5 minutes ago and it's still coming down hard. I am going out in it with Webster in a few and we are going to walk all the way to the rear of the property as we have been doing for the past few days. The road is black from all the salt. I am going to phone my plow man and tell him not to come tomorrow and hope this white stuff melts on its own quickly as I think it will.

Life Inside a Birdhouse

Happy first day of Spring. We are supposed to have snow later this morning that won't quit until midnight. It should melt tomorrow when the thermometer climbs to 50°. This little bird video made me smile. It looks like my life -- tidy all day, watch tv, and look in the refrigerator.

A Truly Beautiful Scottish Landscape

This takes my breath away. Gribun Rocks on the West Coast of the Isle of Mull, Scotland via It has everything I love to go with the perfect cottage and outbuildings -- a stream, the sea, the mountains, a meadow, a big sky view, and sheep.

I love a good cross-body bag and this bunny does too. via

Who is Ron Swanson? I have no idea. I googled him and he is a character on Parks and Recreation, a show I have never watched.
