My horoscope this morning as read to me by my husband "A difficult situation will begin to ease up soon. You’ve been toughing it out pretty well, but soon you can relax."
Works for me. I do like the part "You’ve been toughing it out’ with the qualifier "pretty well." I guess whining isn’t really toughing it out.
It is a foggy, Fall morning here. I do wish we had brought in the furniture cushions BEFORE the torrential rain yesterday. Hey – those of you that have been on my back deck – look at what Rick did – he cut the overhang back to just be a stand alone trellis. It really makes the kitchen area much brighter. Letting all that foggy light in.
And looking down the driveway towards the street (what looks to be a levitating skateboard is actually a swing made out of an old skateboard):
Today we are going to putter. I changed out the summery bed linens for cozier bedding. I pulled out the red flannel quilt for one of the guest rooms. You know we’re hunkering in when the red quilt comes out.
Anyone want to come visit me? We can sit by the fire and drink wine and then you can snuggle under red flannel. I can feel myself starting to relax already.
Keeping with the red theme I ordered this print from Keep Calm Ltd. It’s going to be my new motto. I originally saw it on the Oh Joy! blog and kept going back to it. Very sensible motto, if you ask me.
Wine, cozy red flannel? I’m on my way! What peace radiates from these lovely pictures. It just causes a deep relaxing sigh. Thanks, I needed that.
Hugs,
Dena
I agree! Everything about your home is so cozy. Love the trees and the fog. I’d love to snuggle up in the flannel and I’ve already got a headstart on the wine! And a fire…mmmm.
I need to go back and remind myself what kind of camera you have – you always take such great photos.

i saw the same poster on Oh Joy! and am placing an order for that poster. it’s dead cheap, like 6 bucks, do you want one?
The view down your driveway looks like something from a movie. Charming, simply charming is your home! I must have that print…it is too much fun! If only you were closer to Texas, I would love to visit your guest room. Of course the fireside wine drinking sounds fantastic too!
Thanks for sharing!
I see this popping up on blogs often lately (http://keepcalmposters.blogspot.com/), but I haven’t seen one in an antique frame like this yet. Looks especially good to me in an older looking frame. I love the sentiment too. I think everyone can relate.
I have that poster, and it’s FABULOUS. Beautiful, yet sensible.
Love your blog; hang in there!!!
What a perfect sentiment! Your photos are absolutely gorgeous. I wish I could curl up in front of your fireplace and drink wine and eat friendship bread.
Your property looks so beautiful. Definitely a movie shot!
Gosh even I, who am scared stiff of flying, would board a plane to come and snuggle down in such a lovely room. And the view is amazing! ;o)
hi… just discovered your wonderful blog… & your yard is beautiful! love the skateboard swing… i have a similar red matellasse quilt! so beautiful. thanks!
Andrea, I have to steal this sign from you. I’m telling you it really helps to just keep calm.
