Dog Feeds Orphaned Lambs in England

Jess, the springer spaniel running on 180 acres to find one of her orphaned lambs to feed. She has been nurturing needy babes on her owner's farm in Devon, England for the past 10 years.

This year, out of a flock of 270 sheep Jess is ‘mother’ to four Dorset Horn lambs which could not be fed by their own mothers. Read more and see more large photographs here. Oh, how I love this story!

Fresh Eggs

Have you ever had an egg this fresh for breakfast? I have not. via

Fantasy Room

It looks like a room from a dream, doesn't it? Dibs on the chair and ottoman. via

What a wonderful birdbath. It's an old decorative cement one you can leave out in the winter. The bird is lovely too in the snow. We only have patches right now. The mild weather the last two days has melted most of it. I hope the patches aren't waiting for more!!! via

Sad but True.

Great Vintage Desk

This would be a great place to work, wouldn't it? It's sort of a rolling portable office on wheels. Love the collection of old globes and the adjustable architect/drafting stools. via

The Best Conservatory

This building is stunning, inside and out. via

Wonderful Door Handle

The reflection completes the heart. This unusual handle is probably one of a kind. via

Portrait of My Wonder Dog Named Webster

I haven't posted any photos of the wonder dog lately. Here is an old one I like. He's worried this morning because I'm out of dog food. I will make some oatmeal and mix in some cat food for his breakfast. He will be thrilled. 

Goodnight Sweet Cottage

Antique Teapot Repaired Twice

Missing Lid?

Missing Spout?

No Problem! Another great example of make-do repairs on a square-form teapot c.1730. More photos here.

Will you watch The Oscars tonight?

Life of Pi

I will definitely be glued to my television screen even though I haven't seen one single movie that is up for an award. Here is a guide for everything you need to know for tonight's academy awards presentations at oscar.go.com Are you having a party?

The gold statue has been redesigned by a group of film students but I can't find a photo to show you so we will have to wait.
Google has a great site to navigate The Oscars too. Quickly see a trailer of all the films nominated here.

More Cat and Bunny Love

Reaching for a cat kiss. So sweet. via

Wonderful Work Space

I love this hanging desk so much. This is a perfect little place to sit and work, isn't it? The rolling cart around the corner filled with art supplies can be pulled around when needed. This is better than having drawers at the desk in my opinion. In my world, drawers are places to stuff junk. Paying bills here would be a real pleasure. I read somewhere that chalkboard is the new black. Have a great weekend.

Spring Robins Yesterday @ My Cottage

I saw my first flock of big fat robins hopping around the backyard yesterday. I took this photo last year at my cottage. This beauty landed on one of the pilars on either side of my front walk and posed very nicely for me. I love these birds, the true harbingers of spring.

Goodnight Dear Friends.

Tabitha has already gone to bed and so has Webster. I'm looking forward to watching a movie in mine very soon. Isn't this rabbit the cutest thing ever snuggling up to the cat? Have a good sleep tonight and wake up rested for the weekend! via

Beautiful Landscaping with Grasses

This is so lovely. I'm always drawn to living fences and I love the way these grasses are planted.

Cat Paw Prints on 15th Century Book

Oh dear. The cat walked in some ink and kept going right over the pages of this 15th century book. I wonder what the scribe thought at the time? Cats will be cats. via
