Snippets

I took these photos late Sunday afternoon when the sun was hitting the rooms in the dollhouse. I posted them on Instagram Stories, but not all of you do IG, so I thought I’d post them here. The text on the pictures is a result of posting them on Stories (the equivalent of a caption.)

I love this house.

There. I’ve said it.

Sunny this morning after the fog burned off, but rain is coming this afternoon. Oh joy. I know we need it, and I’m grateful for it, but with the soil and grass continuously soggy, there’s not a lot that I can do out there!

We watched part one of the third season of Unforgotten  on PBS. It airs on Sunday nights at 10 pm here (the NYC public television station.) Too late for us, so we watched it on demand yesterday. I love this series. Nicola Walker is consistently excellent in everything she does. We’re big fans. It centers on cold cases. Very well done.

Today’s egg cups:

Little boys – and a dog, to boot. These are favorites of mine.

And, as we watched the end of Shall We Dance  with Ginger and Fred early yesterday evening, I saw this:

I ran out to the front porch to capture it. Gorgeous.

Happy Tuesday.

Geese

Today’s egg cup theme: Geese.

I can’t remember where I got the first goose, who is pulling an egg cup – I think I found it online. The second goose was a find in a local antique shop. In perfect condition, it’s a vintage cup from France.

The weather has been warm here – temp is reaching 74 today! That’s only for a day, and it will drop back down to normal temps tomorrow. It’s foggy and rainy.

We had a lovely time with Rick and Doug and Sam. Great conversation, lots of play with Sam, and great french toast to boot.

I have yet to answer your comments from yesterday! It ended up being a fairly busy day and I was going on very little sleep, so I just sort of collapsed when I got home. But I will, as soon as I hit publish.

There’s not much else new…sometimes I wonder if I should take the occasional day off because I don’t want to bore you. I know you’ve all said that’s just fine by you, but I have a hard time doing that. Partly because I like the discipline of writing every day, partly because I know you look for my  posts, and even though it’s okay, I know you’ll wonder if all is okay with me. Tricky. But after 11 years of blogging, sometimes I just don’t have anything to say! And we’re not in an exciting time here at the cottage; we’re basically just hanging out here. Neither of us is working. No big, potentially exciting things are scheduled. It’s just Don and me, hanging out, running errands, reading, listening to music, making dinner, washing dishes, cleaning, and watching an old movie or two.

Soon, I’ll begin to work outside and that will change things up a bit.

Anyway, I’m rambling. It’s simply something I think about from time to time, but then I start writing about whether I should take a day off, gradually adding more and more thoughts, and then suddenly, I have a post.

Sigh.

Happy Monday.

 

Little Free Library & Egg Cups

at by

We took a walk on the rail trail yesterday. Beautiful day, lovely weather – and I’m seeing buds on some trees. Huzzah! On the way back, we had to walk a bit further than usual and noticed this at the other entrance to the trail:

An adorable Little Free Library made in the shape of a railroad car. This is the rail trail and there used to be a railroad station in our little town – right on this site – as well as a big hotel for travelers. Hard for those of us who are newish to this area to imagine, but I’ve heard lots of stories about it from those who were born and raised here.

I have a few books that I was going to donate to the library, but I just may drop them off here.

Today is going to be warmer. Still too early to do any work outside, but we may sit on the glider for a spell. We’re going to Rick and Doug’s for brunch first.

Today’s egg cup theme: Dog egg cups.

Enjoy your day – I hope the weather is getting warmer wherever you live and that signs of spring are finally appearing. It was a long, long winter.

Happy Sunday.
