New Season: CALL THE MIDWIFE

NEW SEASON BEGINS TONIGHT ON PBS

Tonight on PBS, Season 7 of Call the Midwife begins. There are two episodes back to back. The first one begins at 8PM and the second on at 9PM. I had no idea until a friend alerted me so I could watch or record. Check your local listings. You're welcome!

Built-in Beds in Similar Small Rooms

This sleeping chamber is in one of the bedrooms belonging to India Hicks and David Flint Wood. See more photos inside their charming English Country House. Enjoy the wonderful tour.

This one confuses me no end. Maybe it's another bedroom in the same manse in Oxfordshire, though it's not pictured in the article in Architectural Digest. I found this photo here. 

Eggshell Seed Starters

Somebody got an early start just in time for the perfect Easter decoration. I love the idea of using eggshells instead of peat pots, egg cartons, or other less attractive choices. via

The storm is over. The sun is out. My car is melting with no help from me. I am going to wait until the warmest part of the day to clean my walk and finish clearing the snow from my car. I am pleased we didn't get as much as was predicted, only about 4 inches. Not bad at all.
