The Run For The Roses

As usual, it seems, we missed the Kentucky Derby today.  Darn.  We were both tired, as the sleep schedule hasn't been very good at our house lately.  Hubby has a project going at work that has entailed all sorts of late hours, and late-night phone calls and texts from work.  So after lunch today, we both took a big nap, and when we awoke, the race was over.  One of these days, we'll learn to record it (I hope).

The Lure of a Library

I plan to continue with my posts on books, and I'll be sharing some more of my favorites here at home.  I haven't had a chance to do that lately, as a certain little someone has been keeping me extra busy; but today, I want to show you these images of some amazing libraries.  I haven't visited these, but I think it would be wonderful to see them in person someday.

A Drive-by Photo Shoot

This time of the year, I love to see the pretty neighborhoods in our area putting on their best spring show.  There are two neighborhoods in particular that are just so lovely in the spring -- Ardmore and Buena Vista.

The historic neighborhood of Ardmore is the first one we drove through today.

I love this porch, the windows, the lace curtains, and the American flag -- so homey looking.

"Hello" From Duncan

Happy Saturday to you!  This weather is lovely and oh so welcome.  Our loyal hound is was sleeping at my feet as I type this.  :)

Our Easter Table

Hi everyone -- wishing you a belated Happy Easter.  I set my Easter table last week, but just photographed it today.  I haven't posted anything in over a week, and I haven't had a chance to visit anyone, so I have some catching up to do on my blog visits.  I haven't been on the computer much at all because I've been focused on spending time working with Duncan to get him housebroken.

I haven't done an Easter tablescape since 2011, the first year I started blogging.  You can see the previous Easter table Here.  I loved that table, and I was tempted to set mine up the same way this year, but I decided I needed a different look for my new post.

Springtime in Reynolda Gardens

The very first year I started this blog in 2011, I visited Reynolda Gardens in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, to take some pictures.  I thought it might make an interesting post.  It was still late winter then, and I told myself I'd be returning in a few weeks, or a month, to take more pictures when things were fully in bloom.  Three years later, I finally did that very thing.

The Duncan Diaries

April 9, 2014

Everyone says I've grown a lot.  I can't imagine how; I don't get nearly enough to eat, the way I see it.
