And to go with my fantasy house for today, here's a jar of freshly picked sunflowers.

Some days, wouldn't you just like to get away from it all? Here's an idea ... a very, very, very fine house. Everything would be so easy.

You're the moonlight flower
You're the voice of the night
When you call I'll follow
We'll leave on the trip of delight ....

In your heart, keep one secret still spot where dreams may go and be sheltered so they may thrive and grow. ~ Louise Driscoll



This painting by Frederick Childe Hassam, is aptly entitled Room with Flowers.

If I had nothing else to do today, you might find me here, surrounded by books, and music, and treasures, and art, and flowers, and, of course, my computer. And maybe a good friend.

A place to dream.

When you have only two pennies left in the world,
Buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other. ~ Chinese Proverb



I have this theory that daylilies will someday take over the world, which doesn’t bother me much because that means that the world will once again be beautiful. This time of year, daylilies like this one take over my heart. This beautiful lily is called “Dark Eyes.”
