  18. Beautiful! I'm hoping one day your share your 'orchid' growing secrets on your blog:)

    I've had some difficulty with mine after we moved here, especially indoors.

  19. Everything is so pretty. I can't wait to see another room or the new courtyard. You mentioned your garden at your last house in one of your posts. Do you have pictures of that garden? Would love to see those as well. I really enjoy your blog. Of all the houses that I look at, yours is the most beautiful. Wenda Scott, maggieandme52@yahoo.com

  21. Always love your photos but this one is especially beautiful. Would love to be in New Hampshire to enjoy one of your nice cool mornings.

  22. you are all so nice, thank you!

    Barbara- Morning always comes realllllly early on the top of a hill on the East coast! I "was" up early, especially for me;) to see Dan off on a trip this morning. I had to take a nap to catch up!

    Linda- they do stay inside all year.

    Artie- the story of the table (because you know everything has a story around here;) is in the master bedroom "details" post!

    To the moon- I really do need to do that post on orchids, thank you for the reminder.

    Wenda- so funny you should ask that as just last week I found a disc that has those on it, and I was thinking of showing it. I worry for my old landscape and garden with the horrible Texas heat wave they are having...

    summerssundsays-jw- we have been having some perfect summer weather this past week, highs right just around 80 with an occasional afternoon shower and the windows in the house open. It almost;) makes me feel guilty with the 35+ stretch of days of consecutive 100 degrees they are having back in Texas.
    Hope you are staying cool!

  24. What gorgeous light! Such a peaceful and beautiful moment for you to capture. You've got a great eye...I adore this photo.
    Thanks for sharing and I'm so happy that you aren't in that awful Dallas heat. I bet you can't wait for the turning of the leaves up there in NH!

  42. A most special picture. It brings to life Henry James' famous dictum that the most beautiful words in the English language are "summer afternoon".

  46. That is a beautiful picture Joan! I wanted to invite you to visit my blog "On The Home Front" I wrote a list of my 10 house things I can't live without. I, of course, got the idea from the list(s) you posted recently.I hope you get a chance to stop by and leave a comment. Thanks for the inspiration.

  48. Calm, serene, beautiful photo.

    I will try the Stainless Steel Magic. The two cleaner I have tried in the pass year for my now one year old frig has left a lot to be desired. One was left awful streaks.
