Diane Keaton's Beverly Hills Home $10.95M


"What the mind knows the eye sees." Great quote.




Diane Keaton Re-lists Beverly Hills Home for $10.95M
'Annie Hall' actress Diane Keaton has re-listed her Beverly Hills mansion for 16% under last year's $13M price tag. Built by architect Ralph Flewelling in the 1920's, the 7-bedroom, 9 bathroom [9,000 sq. foot] Spanish Colonial Revival has re-emerged on the market for $10.95 million.

Good luck Diane. I still love your glasses.

Flowers Growing In The Grass



My grass could use a good cutting but I can't make myself mow over the grape hyanciths and wild white violets. Could you? I just learned that the New Jersey State Flower is the common meadow violet. Maybe that's why I have so many. I have purple ones too but I love the contrast of the white ones against their dark green leaves and the grass. They have such sweet pansy-like faces.

Images captured this afternoon in my front yard with my Nikon D40 + Nikon 18-200 lens.

Reading In A Pretty Chair

I've always loved the charming illustrations of Jessie Wilcox Smith. These two children reading together in a wonderful wing chair slipcovered in chintz is one I haven't seen before. It's perfect for today since they seem to be dressed in their Sunday best.

Justin Bieber + Tina Fey SNL Rehearsal



I should have stayed up last night to watch this. Did you see Saturday Night Live? I must admit that I'd never even heard of Justin Bieber until I saw all the promos but now I love him too.

Life's Little Instruction Book | Volume II | Page 9


I like the last one on this page. Some people don't live up to their relatives and others surpass them. Focus on the individual. It's a beautiful sunshiny Sunday here at the cottage and the spring leaves that are beginning to pop make the trees look like impressionist paintings. Have a great day, Rosemary.

A Real Stork's Nest

I've always wanted to see a genuine stork's nest. There is a cottage nearby with a replica build on the roof that I must photograph before the trees hide it completely. This is wonderful, isn't it? Found on Pixdaus.

Where There's A Will, There's A Way

I hope you can find a friend to help you do the things you can't do by yourself this weekend. This photo made me smile and I hope it brightens your day as well. Have a great Saturday, Rosemary.
