Smiling Lamb to Cheer You

Have a Happy Sunday. Isn't this smiling lamb adorable? I had to get up this morning at a little before 4am because the smoke alarm in the hall started beeping. I was so annoyed but I got up and changed the battery. Luckily I had a big package handy on the kitchen table because I was planning to change all of them today. So much for my extra hour of sleep. :-)

Don't Forget To Set Your Clocks Back Tonight

When you wake up on Sunday morning you'll be refreshed because of the extra hour you'll get when you set your clock back on Saturday night. Daylight savings time is over. Boo Hoo.

To remember which way to turn the dial I always say:
Spring Forward,
Fall Back.

Optical Illusion Garden Backdrop

The forced perspective in the architectural trellis work on the mansion fools the eye into thinking there is depth on a flat wall. Are there any workmen that can create these masterpieces today? I've always admired this artistic workmanship. The photo was scanned from one of my home landscaping books. Have a great weekend.

Grace Kelly Wasn't A Fan of Hollywood

"I hated Hollywood. It’s a town without pity. Only success counts. I know of no other place in the world where so many people suffer from nervous breakdowns, where there are so many alcoholics, neurotics and so much unhappiness. —Grace Kelly"
Thanks, misswallflower

White Bedroom with Fireplace :: So Nice

I think I'll bed down here tonight with a big roaring fire. We're having damp chilly weather here at the cottage and this room looks nice and cozy for Webster and me. It would be a nice room to wake up there just tomorrow morning to start the weekend. Have a good one.
