As we embark on MONTH TWO of a new year, wait, how is that possible? Time needs to slow down for just a bit…right?
National Geographic ~ the groundhog
My mind has been racing with thoughts of things to do…from work to pleasure…I can’t seem to make it slip into neutral long enough for me to focus. Does that ever happen to you? You no sooner think of one thing then your mind races to a new topic and before you know it you’re lost in new ideas, forgetting the good idea you just had. No, I don’t think I’m suffering from early-onset dementia, why do you ask?
Source unknown, but this is the best of both worlds in my mind—a castle cottage.
So, since it’s Groundhog Day and I’m certain I’ve experienced the above condition before, and because it’s our youngest son’s birthday, {it’s cliché to say it seems like only yesterday he was a tow-headed toddler following his big brother around the house, but I’m just saying…}, I’m providing images of things I like and rooms Kevin might like. This isn’t a cohesive, all-one-idea kind of post, it’s an all over the place, like this and that kind of post. {It’s okay if you skip your visit with me today…it might be contagious and you’ll be out of focus if you continue}.

Maybe this is a purge of images that have been intriguing but not really part of a larger subset of rooms. In any event, I hope you will return when I’m on topic. Thank you for your patience.

Better Homes and Garden Some of my thoughts are towards planting for spring and a December wedding for Kevin and his darling fiance, Sarah.

May your beer brewing be successful.
I think I need a nap…

Karen, first I want to wish Kevin a very happy birthday. I too remember your two little blond babies and it can’t have been more than ten years ago can it?
I’ve decided it’s spring fever ( a little early!) that makes our minds jump all over the place. All I can say is that I like following where your mind wanders. I continue to love all the great pictures you find and post. Thanks for contributing to my daydreaming!

Gretchen,
It’s hard to believe they (our respective children) have grown up so fast…and we’ve stayed the same…LOL.
It really is something like spring fever…I guess we’re going to miss winter altogether.
xo,
Karen

Karen,
Happy Birthday to Kevin! What a darling boy.
Loved the pics of the castle/cottage and the other beautiful rooms. I’ve been bitten by the gardening bug too. Hope I can get out this weekend to do some planting!

Linda,
Skipping winter does have a few advantages! Happy gardening, Linda!

Hi Karen, I love the little cottage/castle and the great inspiration pictures. Happy birthday to your son! Hugs, Sherry
Karen said:
Thanks, Sherry.
The cottage castle was so fun…not sure where this structure is actually residing.

Hi Karen,
The cohesive element is dreamy…I think. My dream would be to be lost somewhere and happen upon that little castle abandoned but in perfect condition and decide to stay awhile. I think our longing for spring as set us to dreamy images and thoughts. Thanks a “bunch” for mentioning my Paris Shopping Tours…hopefully a dream I can fulfill for some lucky travelers.

Hi Jermaine,
It may be spring (early) that’s providing the the dreamy state I seem to be in…I worked in the garden today and it gave me such joy.
It’s my pleasure to pass the word on your Paris Shopping Tour…I am sad not to be able to join you but know that you’ll have some great stories to share with your readers when you return.
Karen
