Truly A Room Full Of Books

This room leaves me speechless. Book on the ceiling too. Awesome.

Getting Some Fresh Air

Just a quick snapshot from one of my books. We all need a breath of fresh air right now, don't we?

Another Amazing Collection of Books

This statue seems to be guarding the books, doesn't he?

Old House Love

I'm not sure I'd have the nerve to leave the walls "as is" if this bathroom belonged to me. I do think it's interesting even though looks unfinished. I've scraped wallpaper off plaster walls and have been tempted to walk away too. Getting down to the bare bones of an old house is never easy. What would you do?

Create Yourself Endlessly

Thought for the day:

"To exist is to change, to change is to mature, to mature is to go on creating oneself endlessly."

Henri Bergson (1859-1941) -- French philosopher


I took this photo in the morning sun today.

March Is For Reading

In March read the books you've always meant to read.

What a good idea. The vintage image is a WPA (Work Projects Administration) poster circa 1940 to promote reading and library use for children and adults.

Antique Gardening Tools


Early gardening tools scanned from one or more of my antiquarian prints. Early 19th century, English.

I know all the gardeners out there are itching to begin using all the things in the garden shed. I'll be glad to trade them for my collection of snow shovels currently being overused. What about you?

I thing it's going to be a nice day. I can feel that Spring is in the air.

Life's Little Instruction Book | Volume II | Page 1



Life's Little Instruction Book, Volume II
A few more suggestions, observations, and reminders on how to live a happy and rewarding life.
By H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
"Life is a process. We are all works in progress -- green tomatoes ripening on the windowsill of life."

I finally found Volume II of this wonderful book. Aren't you happy? Now I don't have to repeat the first 511 hints from Volume I.

For those of you who missed the first book, look on my sidebar for the cover and click on it.
