ODDS AND BODS 8/27/24

(and thank you Pinterest)


And this sweet little pooch says I hope you all slept well.

How about some pretty art to start off with?


And Buggy art!


One more!


Did you know…


I am a big believer in this. 


I am definitely this.


Today’s dream cottage,


Also this one.


In my fantasy world the bedroom would look like this.


Part of the family room would look like this.


And such a great porch. Just imagine how many birds and squirrels, raccoons and foxes would visit me in the middle of this beautiful forest.  And bears, oh my!


Almost forgot the dining room….



and the kitchen, the heart of any home.


Very true!


Here is a description of…


I love this picture of an ancient oak…


and this poem.


There are times when we all need a hug, whether we know it or not.

And as much as I adore flowers and they fill me with joy, it is important to note that…


And now for something I would like to try sometime…


A little humor! If you can put a popular tune together and fit it to the words, you may be singing it all day.  Sorry about that or you can thank me later.


I love this! So cute!


And in my fantasy world, this would be very natural. In reality not so much but it is a nice dream.


While we are on the subject of bears, isn’t this cute?  I looked for a knitting pattern without success. Maybe you clever knitters out there could figure something out.


Well, I think that’s all for now.


and


With hugs from

  1. So much to love and ponder today! I love both cottages, especially the dining room and kitchen, which are both farmhouse style. The table and chairs are awesome and I would have ones like them if I had room. Love the moon and stars poem too. And I want this porch! I miss having a porch, we do not have one.

    1. Sweet of you to ask. Thank you so much my friend :) It is still painful but not as much so I am hopeful things are moving in the right direction. These things just take time, don’t they? I have to be more patient as I am eager to get out and about.

  14. So many wonderful and delightful pictures and quotes you have shared, Denise. I love that bedroom with the loft! And that porch looks like my surroundings in the mountains. I was told by my neighbor he saw a bear right by my house before I moved in! ; )

    I enjoyed this post very much, Denise.

  16. What a lovely, fun post. I don't know what to comment on first.
    I loved the bird at the very top with the good morning sign, and the little boy giving the old lady a flower and chocolates, The sweater with the little bear is adorable.
    Great shots of the oak and the art to start with and buggy art near the top. Loved the cottage pictures too.

  18. I fear I am a noceur. I keep trying to go to bed earlier but then I can’t go to sleep. That means it’s hard to wake up when Charlie starts campaigning to go out.
