Boo From Bentley

Posted by follow me On 0 comments

Bentley really loves the kids in our neighborhood and the littlest ones the 
best.  So I decided to create a pumpkin just for Bentley to greet the little ones
up the stone steps leading to our cottage door.



Just a cheerful boo from Bentley!

Halloween decorations in our neighborhood.

Inga's Scarecrow

My neighbor Inga is such a talented artist.  She lives in the tiniest little cottage you ever
did see.  Her cottage garden is tiny too, but everywhere you look, there is 
something that will delight you!




Like this inspired scarecrow.  Adorable!!!

I am linking up to 


for more seasonal delights!

Bentley ~ the weather is so beautiful, let's go for a nice long walk
tomorrow and take lots of pics of the neighborhood!

Good Morning Sleepyhead!

Posted by follow me On 0 comments


Good Morning Sunshine!
Are you ready for some breakfast out on the deck?
It's not too hot yet, just perfect for sleepyheads.





Would you like some steel cut oatmeal?
I love the flavor and texture of this long cooking oatmeal ~
yum!




How about a cup of coffee from this cute little vintage perculator?
How do you like your coffee ~ black, cream, cream and sugar?
I remember when I lived in NYC ~ a "regular coffee" was coffee
with cream, but I personally take mine black.






I love these blue transferware dishes.  It's Avondale by Royal
Staffordshire.  The pattern just makes me smile!

Enjoy your coffee while I get your oatmeal.  Bentley will entertain
you with some of his toy flinging tricks.

Joining ~


Stop back later this evening.  We will be serving summer 
cocktails.

Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

Summer is Almost Over

Posted by follow me On 0 comments


I took these pics last spring.  We had such a cool wet spring and
it seemed that summer would never come to Idaho.




But it did finally arrive.  Although we have had some hot temps,
it seemed cooler than the previous summer.  So much cooler that I never
felt the need to put the bikini top on my Jeep.

Now August is half over and there is only one more week of summer
vacation for the kids in my neighborhood.  Soon I'll be thinking of the 
glorious days of September and October.  Football games, sweaters, tail
gate parties at BSU.  Getting out the fall decorations and deciding on 
which pumpkins to purchase for the front porch.



Time goes by so fast!  Now when I look at this pic of a blossom
from my snowball bush, it seems like just yesterday I was longing for 
summer.

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Stop by and visit ~ 


Okay Bentley ~ let's get ready to visit Grandma!

Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

Sunset at Bandon

Posted by follow me On 0 comments

A few years ago David and I went to Bandon, Oregon and
rented a house on the beach.  Well, 80 feet above the beach as 
all of the beach front houses seem to be.  We went so that David
could play golf at Bandon Dunes.  I was happy to walk with Bentley
up and down the miles of seemingly endless beach each day.



One evening on the balcony David took these pics of the sunset.



We were mesmerized by the beauty.



The stillness.  The peace.



The sun always seems to sink so fast over the ocean.




While Tony Bennett may have left his heart in
San Francisco ....



I have left mine in Bandon.
(No, there is only one moon, don't know what happened there.)

Join me in visiting


Bentley ~ you met lots of doggie friends on that beach
didn't you!  Now go give your Daddy a big kiss because
it's his birthday!

Hugs,
Susan and Bentley

You've Got Blog Post

Posted by follow me On 0 comments

"Don't you think that daisies are the friendliest flowers?"
~ Kathleen Kelly
"You've Got Mail"



It's a sign that I have watched this movie too many times.
Oh ~ wait ~ that's a line from "Sleepless in Seattle"!

Maybe I have watched both of these movies too many times!

Perhaps the party goers at
Seasonal Sundays
Have some newer material.

Bentley ~ I think I want to watch those movies again.
I'll make some popcorn and we can cuddle on the sofa!

Love,
Susan and Bentley

It Happens in Sun Valley Cloche

Posted by follow me On 0 comments

We love our winter sports in Idaho ...
so here is a Sun Valley theme cloche in honor of the 1941 movie ...
Sun Valley Serenade.



Skiing, snowboarding, sledding, building snowmen ...
We love it all!



I used a Pottery Barn lantern for a cloche
a good place to tuck in a snowman,
a pair of skis and a winter sweater.



Can't wait to get out the real Susan size skis!!
In the meantime I am linking up to:

Bentley you can come sledding with us and
we can take you for a sleigh ride too!

Love,
Susan and Bentley
