Dreaming of Spring on the Porch

It's a cold gray February morning ...

but in my heart I am dreaming of spring.

I'm longing for a sunny morning with the light filtering

through the trees and sweet blossoms to brighten the path

to my door.

I'm longing to sit on the porch with a cup of tea

and planning a garden while Bentley

chases the squirrels.

I'm dreaming of clay pots filled with flowers and

sweet little birdhouses.

Ah well ...

Just a dream for now!

Lets go visit some sunny friends ~

Sweet Vintage Planters

I love sweet little vintage planters, cachepots, whatever

you like to call them. I look for them at garage sales and

thrift and antique shops.

Aside from plants, you can use them to hold pencils on your

desk, make-up brushes on your vanity or

whatever you choose.

They are a frugal way to add a bit of sweet vintage charm

to any cottage.

Remedies for the Flu

I started to feel ill yesterday afternoon.

By the time I got home there was no doubt in my mind ...

I had the flu!

What are the remedies for the flu?

David picked up some Won Ton soup from our

local Chinese restaurant. It doesn't cure the flu

but I felt better temporarily.

Lots of cups of hot tea with lemon and honey.

Works for a while, but I still feel sick.

Old movies.

I have been in bed watching ...

Mr Blandings Builds His Dream House ~

I think about decorating and home construction

even when I am sick.

Mildred Pierce

You've Got Mail ~ how many times have I watched

that movie???

But my favorite remedy is Bentley!

He stares very closely at my face

Gives me four or five kisses on my cheek

and then cuddles up very close.

Works every time!!

Bentley ~ are you prepared to do some quest blogging

until Momma gets better?

Love,

Susan and Bentley
