No Diving

Clever Tile Work on this Changing Room Floor.

I'm not exactly sure what this little anteroom is but the writing on the floor leads one to believe there's a pool on the other side. What do you think? via

Be Patient.

So true. Patience is a virtue. via

Box of Beautiful Onions

Aren't these the most beautiful onions? 

I am going to eat nothing but vegetables next week. I need greens after eating too much ever since Thanksgiving. I love chopping onions and find they improve almost every dish. Sometimes I don't even know what I'm going to prepare until I start chopping an onion to see where it takes me. via

Bedroom and Orderly Closet

This is very inspiring as we approach the new year with resolutions of order in the house. via

Boxing Day Flooding in UK

I have to admit I knew nothing about the 3 weeks of rain north of London to Scotland. I hardly watched the news at all in December because of my cold. I just heard on NPR that Cumbria in the Lake District is being especially hard hit. That's the home of the Beatrix Potter museum that houses over 450 of her watercolors! It was hit by floods in 2010 but this is the worst in over 100 years. How heartbreaking to hear about such awful conditions inn the country and land we all love. Read more current news here. Sending my prayers.

Isn't this delightful? I hope they have a Christmas wreath hanging from both peaks. Happy Christmas Eve. I'm off to watch "The Bishop's Wife" on Turner Classic Movies! xo

The rain has stopped and we are having record warmth. It's supposed to be 74° today and it's already 70° and it's not even 9:00am. Oh well. I'll take it in lieu of snow. Have a wonderful day. You can do it. Here's hoping your stars align and everything will go smoothly and you will be ready for Santa tonight. xo
