{these two great wooden heads~found at different places, but matching together so well, they soon found a home together on the piano}

Rejoicing with Katie, over the safe arrival of her little one.

Enjoying looking forward to a nice lazy, rainy weekend, with no plans, other than knitting, reading,cooking some good food, drinking lots of tea, and spending time with the family.

From the latest episode of Downton Abbey: This table full of good food~makes me think a bit of some of the pictures of our table.

Reading these good quotes, including the one below:

“Long ago I yearned to be a hero without knowing, in truth, what a hero was. Now, perhaps, I understand it a little better. A grower of turnips or a shaper of clay, a Commot farmer or a king--every man is a hero if he strives more for others than for himself alone.
Once you told me that the seeking counts more than the finding. So, too, must the striving count more than the gain.” 

“In reading great literature I become a thousand men and yet remain myself.” 

“I do not expect old heads on young shoulders.” 

“Make sure it is God's trumpet you are blowing- 
if it is only yours it won't wake the dead, 
it will simply disturb the neighbors.”
