Across the Pond: June 2009
http://devondesigns-mary.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2009. A very strong or irresistible impulse to travel. Summer vacation time is here. I'm leaving on a trip tomorrow. Off to picturesque New England with DH and 'traveling granddaughter'. It's where I lived for 12 years before before coming South. No Porch rocking for a week. Sun, sea oats, and the Atlantic ocean. We'll be driving around a lot and I'll have the chance to meet a blog friend whom some of you know.Janet of. Who lives in Massachusetts. Janet is funny and friendly and I'm...

Across the Pond: Woodland walk...........
http://devondesigns-mary.blogspot.com/2010/03/woodland-walk.html
Sunday, March 14, 2010. This is what I could have used today - a calming woodland walk! No, my weekend company (family visiting from Arizona) didn't drive me crazy, but Google certainly did! Have you experienced the same problem.trying to get Google to upload your purchased photo storage via Picasa? I cannot add any photos as yet, despite having purchased storage a couple of weeks ago and again 2 days ago. Have you had this problem? And best of all, a beautiful Blue Heron was visiting the pond! So glad y...

Across the Pond: August 2009
http://devondesigns-mary.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 31, 2009. This past week the children around here returned to school.a sure sign that Summer is on the wane. Soon we'll be stowing away the garden furniture. Winter proofing the birdhouses and signs with a spray of wood sealant. Pushing our swimsuits to the back of the dresser drawer. And thoughts of hot, lazy days at the beach will be saved for next year. Which season do you prefer at the beach? All images taken at SuzAnna's Antiques 2009. Labels: Summer - Beach.

Across the Pond: More Tempting Tulips for Pink Saturday
http://devondesigns-mary.blogspot.com/2009/03/tempting-tulips.html
Saturday, March 13, 2010. More Tempting Tulips for Pink Saturday. Tulip time has arrived and bunches of pink tulips have been airlifted from Holland to my local Trader Joe's. I found these as I shopped for other favorites such as fresh veggies and fruits, goat cheese, an artisinal French baguette, Greek yogurt, and of course some wine. I love to have them close by as I work in the kitchen. Do you know that tulip stems continue to grow when placed in water? Stop by to see Beverly at How Sweet the Sound.

Friday, July 31, 2009. Girls (and boys) just wanna have fun. Even cute dogs such as Kiltie enjoyed runs out in the boat. See my toes (right), they were soaking up the sun and loving every moment relaxing as we circled beautiful Lake Almanor. Paula, my best friend of almost 46 years (we arrived in Washington, D.C. in 1962 and have kept in touch ever since 'altho we live on opposite coasts) and Jasmin, enjoying an evening ride. Jasmin's initiation into water skiing. The end of another wonderful day. Tomorr...

Across the Pond: December 2009
http://devondesigns-mary.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 31, 2009. A new day.a sad day. The huge double-trunked, dangerously leaning oak, on the side of our property was taken down on Monday.our neighbor is sighing with relief no doubt! Followed by the three large trees on each side of the driveway whose giant roots have undermined and cracked the concrete (new driveway next Spring! These I'll truly miss because the birds loved perching in them.but our cars sitting under them suffered! Anyone want to send me some trees? Bet you've seen this ...

Monday, November 30, 2009. I'm invited to Mr. Toast's first annual Christmas Tea. Imagine, a real British holiday tea right here in the beautiful mountains of Colorado. Today I'm busy packing my warm clothes, making my teatime goodies and tonight I'll be on my way to Aspen. Hope you'll stop by too - there should be lots of yummy food, the very best warming English teas to sip, lots of fun caroling and meeting new blog friends. Want to share in some pre-Christmas spirit before the rush? I love this street...
