ok share to pinterest labels evergreens landscape lawn my cottage thanksgiving trees friday october 24 2025 fall color i wish these were the orange leaves at my house unfortunately mine are brown the yellows are pretty but overall the woods look pretty drab the poison ivy is a lovely red though i am thrilled a friend shared the name of a man who is immune to it he works on a daily rate that i found to be quite reasonable my friend has him on a regular basis and is going to drive him by my house so he can assess my situation my front grove of evergreens is covered with it will keep you posted another large dead tree has fallen on my property and i m awaiting my tree man for removal it s always something isn t it look closely on the left above leaves and undergrowth for a dead tree it s actually pretty big the rootball and much of the trunk is on my neighbor s property i m just going to have the men cut what is on my path and field so it shouldn t be too disruptive see you again

for my four year old mattress with a forever warranty as it has turned out forever is 10 years so i was still qualified of course they had no records so i had to prove ownership luckily i had saved my mailing labels i had to take photos of the tags on the mattress and the damaged top cover it wasn t stretched on properly and had huge wrinkles there was also a sag in the middle 3 inches deep luckily i took excellent photos that satisfied my claim yesterday after a 2 hours on wait on my phone and over an hour with my third sleep expert i was finally successful getting a replacement i have the order number and the confirmation whew it should arrive in another day or two and needless to say i am thrilled i also have arranged for help removing my current matteress for disposal and help putting on the new one wish me luck the current 2025 replacement has a different top cover that won t wrinkle i ll add to this post if there is a problem fingers crossed as usual august is flying by i

labels historic old house old photos real estate sunday august 3 2025 airedales deer limelights and a watermelon i purchased this pair of bronze airedale terriers from the huge antique flea market in brimfield ma in the 90s and love them only the daughter has the theodore b starr foundry mark but they are definitely a pair they are on my slant front desk in my livingroom this is my first fawn sighting this year and i m not thrilled with the deer this year i can t remember another year when they ve eaten so many of my plants and shrubs this photo is a little out of order but it shows a buck eating sunflower seeds i finally got smart and brought this feeder in at night ok back to my current deer problem my biggest and best limelight hydrangea got eaten early in the season and has recovered nicely but my barricade is still in place i might move it today since i mowed my yard yesterday and the shrub is actually nice and filled out and has grown taller than they can reach this watermelon was delicious i hope the one i buy today is half as good this photo is in the downstairs summer kitchen in my cottage see you later xo rosemary at august 03 2025 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels deer dogs figural art limelight hydrangeas saturday july 26 2025 odds and ends from the last week in july more here s the latest cheerful cherub it s very timely isn t it the artist was only 20 years old when she was hired to do this daily artwork and poem for the chicago sun times she had already been doing them for her own personal pleasure for a long time she took her art portfolio to the newspaper and they weren t interest in anything she showed them when she was packing up to leave several of these cherubs fell to the floor when the editor picked them up and looked at them he was charmed and hired her on the spot to continue them for the paper i took this photo early saturday when the morning dew was still on the leaves many if you left comments that you had never heard of buttonbush cephalanthus occidentalis most of the other flowers have already shed their seeds and a small round green pod is left in my reading i have learned these mature into a reddish rounded fruit that remain all winter and add interest to the plant i ll keep you posted mrs groundhog has three little ones this year and they are adorable i had a large tree that was overhanging the house cut down last year and have so enjoyed the weathervane on the stump my property is badly overgrown due to all the rain we ve had i m in the process of looking for someone with a large tractor to do some field mowing for me this was a big hit on my instagram story on 7 29 i can t remember any of my childhood phone numbers because we moved around too much i have an 85 year old friend who can remember his though he can also remember his high school locker combination and all sorts of other useless stuff but he cannot remember his cell phone number or any passwords i made him a business card with his cell number name and address and email address i put it behind his clear cell phone case now he just hands over his phone at doctor s offices etc when someone asks for any information it has been so very handy for him i have an address book for all of my passwords i have a friend who could not remember her passcode to unlock her new iphone the only place it was written down was in her phone apple locked her phone for 2 weeks before she could get it back so it s very important to have a system for all the things we have to save to work and play on the internet any time i add something to my weekly post you will get another email from follow it so open the email and scroll down for something new i ve added thanks for stopping by to see my weekly post xo rosemary at july 26 2025 no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels buttonbush cheerful cherub climate change grondhog memory weathervane sunday july 20 2025 buttonbush for the polinators and milkweed caterpillars and more this is the first year my buttonbush has bloomed i planted it three or four years ago from three bare rooted native plants the land trust was giving away it wasn t my first choice but i got there late a friend recommended this as it would attract bees and butterflies i babied the sticks and it took a couple of years before they looked like an actual shrub this is the first year and the bush got buds that finally bloomed and it s glorious it turned out to be my favorite plant and i am so glad i was late to the event i had never heard of buttonbush and now it is thriving in my yard there are only a couple of blooms in this photo but now it is absolutely covered with them i have been enjoying the monarch caterpillars on my milkweed plants too they seem to grow overnight this is a fat one i photographed this rabbit on saturday morning happily eating weeds in my driveway it froze and let me photograph it and didn t move until i started walking friends with vegetable gardens don t like them but they don t bother me and they are welcome to my weeds we have had more rain this year that any summer i can remember so the weeds have really taken over i ll get them hacked down and mowed eventually the above three images are from one of my favorite books the cheerful cherub by rebecca mccann it was published in 1928 and includes 101 favorite posts by her in that appeared in the chicago sun times newspaper her original drawings and little poems featured the cheerful cherub and his little dog she was only twenty years old and wise beyond her years right i m trying to catch you up on the three i have put on my instagram enjoy i finished this book last weekend and liked it a lot it s about the early 1940s in nyc when penicillin was new and in short supply you could die from a cat scratch or a skinned knee if you got an infection it reads like a historical novel and is full of facts that were unknown to me with a little romance thrown in too have a great week xo rosemary at july 20 2025 6 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels
