Good Morning!!!!! Ah! The sun is shining again! I was beginning to think I saw Noah and the Boat on the horizon! My poor plants have been drowning in water, but I know it will be hot, hot, hot now and within a few days time they will be thirsty again! So there won’t be…

WeekendCaféShare: More Cleaning and Gardening
If we were having coffee I would invite you to the back screened porch to sit with our cuppa this morning! It is absolutely gorgeous outside and is supposed to be in the eighties again today! What have I been up too? I have been so busy. Remember the last time we met I was…
WeekendCaféShare: Hello Again Maeve!
If we were having coffee I’d invite you to the café on the corner and ask you to bring your favorite book. What is it? I always jump right in with all my thoughts, so I’d like to hear about your book first. To my coffee share blog friends, what book have you brought? Every…
Jo’s Monday Walk: Me, You, and Agatha Christie
I’ve been wanting to do Jo’s Monday Walk FOREVER! One week I deliberately went out over the weekend to photo the “Hood.” When I returned home and downloaded all my photos they weren’t there! What was that about? Then the weather took a turn for the worse and I don’t do “Turned Worse Weather” at…
WeekendCaféShare: Spring Has Sprung!
If we were having coffee this morning, I’d tell you the cottage painting is completed and everything looks pretty spiffy! Don’t you think so too? All done before spring! Well official Spring that is. Now I am really ready for spring, although I think we may skip spring, like we skipped winter, and just go…

The Butterfly Garden; It’s Not What You Think It Is
I like to read, a lot. I read over 60 books a year and in the last year I have enjoyed reading books on gardens, especially gardens I have visited in the UK on my English Garden Tours. Virginia Woolf’s Garden by Caroline Zoob has become one of my favorite reads. I loved the photographs…
Agatha Christie’s Potent Plants
Well I’m finishing up my day at Agatha Christie’s Greenway and thought I’d do a post about poisons! During World War II, Christie again worked as a pharmacist and nurse, just like she did in WWI. Her knowledge of medicine influenced her mysterious characters, many of whom died from lethal injection. So I thought it…
A Day With Agatha Christie at Greenway: Getting There
I am so excited to be visiting Greenway House, the holiday home of Agatha Christie. It is the first private residence of the famous author to be opened to the public. Greenway House is situated on a 278 acre estate on the Dart River in Devon. I will be dividing the posts into several sections…
Great Expectations
No this is not about the Charles Dicken’s classic novel. It’a about how I always have such “Great Expectations” before I set off on a new adventure (vacation)! My new adventure is Cornwall in the United Kingdom and I am really looking forward to it. So I have been doing some research (as always) and…
