The Promise of March

Spring Teaser via
This glimpse of spring doesn't seem possible as I gaze into the frozen abyss outside my window. We'll just have to hang on until Mother Nature decides it's time for a spring thaw. Enjoy your Sunday. xo

My Wish for You Tomorrow Morning

Wouldn't this be a nice way to welcome March? via

Wow. An Overwhelming Task.

So far, so good. via

Kitchen Fireplace

I'm loving the raised hearth fireplace in this lovely kitchen. Home is where the hearth is, right? I see comfy furniture too so I'm sure it's a room you'd never want to leave. via
Have a great weekend!

Unique Bathroom Vanity

I really like this setup. I'd much rather look out the window than look in the mirror, wouldn't you? I know you're not supposed to have water pipes on an outside wall so this wouldn't work for me, especially in the deep freeze we are having. Anyway, I like this a lot, except for the bare bulbs. via

Bill Murray - Portrait

I have no idea what this is all about, but it caught my eye this morning. via Just found out it's by a firm called Replaceface. Link will take you there. Fun!

What a Nice Place to Work

This Vermont Farmhouse is the home of the editors of Cook's Illustrated Magazine and the Public TV Cooking Show "From America’s Test Kitchen". I can't imagine a nicer place to work, can you? I'm sure it's pretty in the snow too.

Lovely English Robin

I love these British birds with the inverted hearts on their breasts. via

Snowshoe Winter

I'm sure I'm not the only one who could have used a pair of these this winter. I'm so tired of falling through the snow and so is Webster. via

This cute little otter doesn't seem to mind the ice cold water. Stay warm and I'll see you later. via

Wonderful Ceiling Treatment

Light walls and dark ceiling.
I love it all: the horizontal wall paneling and the lantern within the X beams. via

Spring Will Come

It seems hard to believe right now but I know this to be true.

Great Weathervane in England

My Morning Mantra

Mine was delicious this morning. I still have to power up and shovel my front walk and clean the new snow from my car. My driveway has been plowed so I can get out for a noon real estate showing. Wish me luck. xo

Amazing Screened Porch

I love the architectural details in the screen panels, don't you? Swoon. via
Sorry I'm so late posting today. I had to take an all-day mandatory real estate course that started at 9:00 this morning and I didn't get home until after 4:00. The instructor shortened our lunch and breaks so we could get out a little early because of the snow. I'm so glad to be safe and sound in my cozy cottage. Have a great weekend. xo
