Getting ready for a circle of friends.
More on this week’s circle challenge.
More on the Daily Prompt.
Looking eastward, this is our next door neighbor’s porch as seen through one of our “Summer Snowflake” viburnums. The trees, in summer, create a delicate white-flowered screen between the two houses. In winter, though not flowering, they still provide interest and, from certain angles, allow just a peek at next door.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend!

Each month, I write a newsletter called The Morning Star Update. A semi-regular feature is book recommendations from our guests at the B&B. So I was pretty pleased with the theme for today’s prompt.
The History of Love by Nicole Krauss is a novel that I plan to read over the weekend. It was recommended to me by a delightful guest who has stayed with us a number of times; and I have enjoyed the other books that she suggested to me over the years. (Read a review of it from the NY Times.)
Wishing you a lovely weekend and a good book to read!

During winter months, my flowering houseplants remind me that spring shall soon return and I will once again be out working in my beloved garden.
Orchid buds, showing promise for the future …
Photos are from this morning. Have a lovely day!

The Daily Prompt has invited photographers to post a Superstar-style close-up today. How could I not post another picture of one of our dogs? Today’s model … our beautiful Abbey.
This is Purple Haze. Except for a tinge of magenta on the outer petals, the coloring of this rose is a very soft mauve or lavender. It makes a lovely cutting rose, for which reason it is popular with florists, though I haven’t been able to find it at plant nurseries.
This particular bloom is left over from a wedding here at the Bed & Breakfast last weekend. So you might be wondering why I chose to photograph it for the Daily Prompt given that today’s theme is dull.
Since it is drizzly and gray out today, it occurred to me that if I photographed the bloom outside the its color would illustrate dull in the sense of soft or not-intense while the weather would illustrate dull in the sense of as overcast or dreary … my intent being to show a little beauty on an otherwise dull day.
This is Peachy, shortly after my husband and I adopted her through a rescue agency. I love this picture because she seems to be sleeping so peacefully, her dream of a good home fulfilled.
