If you look closely, this cottage is still the same, just better. Most people would have torn it down, right? Aren't you glad they had the vision to see what it could be, again? I'm so happy for the cottage and the new owners. It's fabulous! 1820 Historic Mississippi Farmhouse read the article and see interior photos too. Stunning restoration! See many more photos at Country Living Magazine.

Rabbit Warren
Oh my goodness, how very sweet. Have you ever seen anything cuter? I always thought rabbit warrens were much deeper. I count six sleeping bunnies looking so peaceful. Have a great weekend. Happy first partial day of fall too. It was quite hot here today, around 88° and the weekend will be hot as well. We had a cool August and now we are having a hot fall. xo
Watch This Pie Crust Video
Above photo found on Google Images
Pie season is upon us. A friend sent me this delightful video on how to make decorative top crusts. Watch it and be amazed. Now I want pie!

Mama Owl Showing Her Babies
Aren't they cute? I never knew owls had such big families. The juveniles look like they are wearig black eye masks. via

Great Rescue Dog Story
The story of Reilly: a thrice-rejected Southern dog who stayed in the South and managed to have it all: family, career, public service, and his own Facebook page.
A great story about a rescue dog who was having a hard time finding a permanent home until he found his true calling. Enjoy! Now I want to visit Airlie Gardens, a public garden in Wilmington North Carolina with more than 100,000 azaleas, an unspecified number of camellias, magnolias, and wisteria, a 467-year-old oak, a butterfly house, and lakes.
Blackberries in a Basket: August Laux
August Laux 1847-1921
This lovely painting perfectly illustrates this time of year. Eat all the fresh local fruit you can because soon there will be no more. via

Outdoor Dining with String Lights
This photo is delightful. Crunchy leaves underfoot and a string of lights between two trees overhead. The first day of fall is this Friday, September 22nd. We've had some cool weather but today was pretty warm. I have been sorting summer clothes to donate and put away for next year. Pretty soon it will be cool weather clothing only. Enjoy your Sunday evening. xo
I found the website that tells all about this fall gathering with many more photos and the story behind the evening party.
Perfect Spot to Sit and Read
This chair looks very comfortable and it has a matching ottoman and to me, that's a huge plus. The lamp is on the left and there's a side table. I love the mahogany piece against the wall and the free-standing bookcase. I wish I could see the rest of the room before I declare it perfect. via

Gorgeous Entry Gate
This gate is truly beautiful and is perfect for the brick path and pillars. A fine woodworker executed a gorgeous design. via
Wooden Drainboard Love
There are many things to get excited about in this photo. I'm mad about the long, deep window ledge and the wooden drainboard. It looks like an old fashioned kitchen that has had a slight facelift but still looks old. Enjoy one of the last weekends of summer. xo

Inside and Outside Simultaneously
I love French doors that open out but you have to consider deep snow if you live in the Northeast. This setting is stunning and I am sure the interior is too. via
The Nicest Office
This would be great for me. I could have all of my research books in one place and plenty of room for my tall flat files full of prints and maps. Love it. Would like to see the rest of this room please. via

Porch with Fireplace
This is the perfect time of year for a porch like this. Bring on the hot chocolate, marshmallows on a stick, and hot spiced cider. via

Beautiful Brick Garden Path
Absolute perfection. All of it. The home, the roof, the rustic pergola, the fence/trellis, the garden gate, the brick paths, and the flowers. Found on Google Images

Clever Bedroom for Two Children
This bedroom fascinates me. There is so much to look at in a small space. Imagine getting two beds and two fabulous built in desks on one wall with bookcases and art galleries. Hat's off to the designer and the builder. I love it. Such a happy space for two lucky children. via

Simply Wonderful Kitchen
I love the raised fireplace, the farm table on an oriental rug, the industrial steel doors, the slate or soapstone countertop, the double farm sink and it all works just perfectly. via
