Do you recognize this gorgeous light? I think I shared a different view of it last year after Miss Rosie and I visited LONGWOOD GARDENS in Pennsylvania, and after our most recent visit I am still in love with it. We’ll see more of it below, but first a recap of my life the last three months. December started out…
Welcome to a new edition of The Adventures of My Traveling Totes! This time we are spotlighting our large totes, so you will see only my Miss Poppy. Miss Poppy is usually stuffed full, as she holds everything without complaining and gets heavy enough to be carried by Mr. Fun, which of course she loves. Above you can see her…
Hello my friends. I have missed you tremendously. I must admit that a somewhat trying year so far has tempted me to eliminate something from my life that was turning from a pleasure into a guilt-inducing, unfinished item on my never ending “to do” list. The longer I avoided opening the dashboard of my blog, the harder it was to…
********** To all of my cherished blogging friends, I thank you for the fun and the inspiration, and I wish you JOY and GOOD HEALTH in 2017! ********** A message of Hope, brought to you by Zeus, the Bible, 30 Rock, and my iPhone in NYC: “Wisdom and Knowledge Shall Be the Stability of Thy Time” Linda 🙂
~~ now that I have your attention ~~ Yes, the recipe for this deliciousness awaits you when you open the beautifully illustrated, latest addition to The Forest Feast series of cookbooks by Erin Gleeson: The Forest Feast Gatherings.

It was truly painless and actually quite enjoyable, as we spent a little vacation time with family and…

I was sure my friends would be tired of seeing posts of Weatherstone, Carolyne Roehm’s lovely house in Connecticut, but so many requests for more photos have come along that I decided to take you for a last little “wander” through the grounds. Walls, fences, and vistas are so glorious! Please sit back and imagine strolling about this lovely property.…
It’s here! Summer Picnic Season! Mr. Fun and I started ours out on a glorious, windy day with a trip across Long Island Sound to Block Island, picnic bag in hand. Just off the tip of Long Island, New York, Block Island is actually part of the state of Rhode Island. Yes, lots of islands here! It’s a bit farther…
“Eat dessert first.” This excellent advice comes from the beautiful and multi-talented Jacqueline of Purple Chocolat Home, and is the title of her new cookbook. I was the lucky winner of a copy and I’ve been enjoying not only dessert but also the other goodies she has collected in it. I love reading Jacqueline’s blog, where she might take us on…
