This lichen covered antique marble angel is so very lovely. She's looking over someone's departed earth angel. via

Old Westbury Gardens, the former Phipps Estate on Long Island
There is a wonderful photo tour of the Phipps Estate and Gardens on The New York Social Diary. There are photos showing winter and summer views and it's fabulous. One of my friends toured this mansion and others on The Gold Coast of Long Island recently and she enjoyed this one especially.
Now that summer is almost here, snow seems like a vague memory, doesn't it?

Gorgeous Home that Needs Some Pruning
This beautiful home is on the verge of being overgrown. I'm really into pruning and thinning and clipping so I could easily take this on and really enjoy it. via

A Garage with a Porch
Is this a cottage? No, it's a garage.
How very clever. See the rest of the Pinewold Cottage complex here. Isn't it wonderful? What a place to celebrate Memorial Day. Have a good one. xo

Poppies for Memorial Day
In Flander's Field by John McCrae
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
From an old blog post of mine.

A Lovely Scene in the English Countryside
I honestly can't tell if the gentleman on the tractor is driving the sheep or trying to get around them. Either way, this photograph is wonderful. Just look at that newly plowed field in the background! via
