Cloud cover this morning. Rained all night. "Enough blue to patch a sailor's pants."

The Fourth of July, 1916. The Greatest Display of the American Flag Ever Seen in New York. This painting was inspired by the climax of the Preparedness Parade in May of that year. It must have been a wonderful sight to behold. Thankfully, we have this world-famous painting to document the historic World War I parade down Fifth Avenue. It's the 100-year anniversary of this great painting.
Happy Sunday July 3rd. Bed in 4 corners @countrylivingmag, George Washington calligraphy @americanantiquarian, center humor @mount_vernon. Geranium photos are mine.

Textbook weather today. Cool and breezy with amazing clouds. Private pond around the corner from my house. Pulled off the road and got out of the car so I wouldn't get the overhead wires in the photo.

Giving myself a DIY Aspirin Facial.
Crush 5 aspirin, add Greek yogurt & lemon juice. This always brightens my complexion and feels really good when I wash it off and add moisturizer. Try it.
Antique iron doorstop in original paint. Provenance: Mrs. Edwin A. Stevens, wife of the founder of Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken NJ. The etching/engraving of the two dogs on my pantry floor was hers too.
I can't help myself when it comes to photographing interesting leaves on the back side. Aren't these vein patterns fascinating? Bright sun is the order of the day and it's not too hot. That's perfect in my book. See you later. xo
We had a much needed rain overnight and will have showers and maybe some hard rain today. I will be stuck in real estate school all day for mandatory education for license renewal. It will be a long day. See you later. I get these shadows on my cottage as the sun goes down to the west.
I haven't cut my grass in over two weeks because we have had no rain. I have a family of rabbits out back and one of them likes the corner of my front yard closest to my front door. I took a short video of him eating grass there a few minutes ago.
See it HERE.
I love all of the exterior photos of the farmhouse pictured above. There is a very comprehensive house tour of the interior too HERE. The idea of a tour is to embrace the things you love and ignore the things you don't. If you get one good idea, that's great! Have a wonderful weekend. xo
Here's the whole lot of cookies being sold as they were decorated. I think these are supposed to depict fireflies inside a jar. I used to have one on my night table almost every night when I was a kid. Have a great weekend.
Cantaloupe juice with mint. So delicious and refreshing. It was nice and thick like slush. I am going to try to make this at home in my Cuisinart. Just wonderful!
Wish I had one this morning.
I went out to lunch yesterday with my friend Kelly. We went to The Artist Baker in Morristown where everything was made from scratch. I should have purchased these scones for my breakfast this morning but sadly, I did not. Kale with Cheddar Cheese! Sounds delicious too.
Oak leaf hydrangea at the home of my friend. She has so many of these lovely native shrubs and they are all simply covered with cone-shaped flower heads. Do want!
