Farmhouse Kitchen

English farmhouse kitchen with Aga range. So cozy.

Spring at My Cottage

We had a nice day yesterday for a change. The grass is slowly greening up and it was nice to spend the day outside. I raked all the gravel back in my driveway that was left in the grass after the plowed snow melted. That's my least favorite job and I'm so glad it's behind me.

My first spring bulb has bloomed. No sign of the purple ones yet.

Spring Gardening

via
My daffodils are just now coming up and are a long way from blooming. The photo above is just a preview of what's to come for those of us lucky enough to have lilacs. These hydrangeas were purchased already in bloom to grow in pots. Someone has been having fun at the potting table. I love the galvanized barrel and watering can. I have bright sun and blue skies today at my cottage so I'm excited about warmer weather. Have a great weekend. xo

Kitten: I'll Sneak in Here for My Nap

via
I love this sweet animated gif. The dog is being so gentle with this little kitten. 

Beautiful Indigo Blue Bird

Isn't this little bird spectacularly beautiful? I like the nest too. I hope this is the female sitting on some tiny eggs. 

Foot Massage Points, Illustrated

via
I thought this vintage reflexology illustration was very interesting. I just finished massaging the toes related to my eyes on both of my feet. My hearing is fine so I skipped those toes. I'm not sure what organs are related to the big toes. Later I'm going to the the inner edge of both feet to help my spine and lower back.

Marble Shower Room

via
If this shower isn't over the top, I don't know what is. It's almost too beautiful to get wet. 

Bookcases Around A Window

via
I love this window treatment and I used it myself in my last house. If you surround a window with bookcases, you get the illusion that the walls of the house are very thick as in a stone house. It gives you a deep windowsill too which I love. The bookcases in this photo are the perfect size. Not too wide so the shelves won't sag from the weight of the books.
