I am starting to get ready to head back up north to the cottage. We spent this weekend planning out what needs to be done in the cottage and out in the garden. Most of the shrubs survived the winter and the deer snacking on them. However it is always an adventure with nature up there, a buck marked his territory by scraping the bark off a new lilac, I have a groundhog digging at the base of the house and a bird nest in a wreath that should come down. At least there are no skunks so far this year.
Inside things are just fine…. I like to think this little angel is wishing for our return...
Those are silver dollars in the vase.

I love the patina on the mirror frame.
To me her nose looks a little smashed but that is ok it adds to her charm. Maybe she is counting the days to our return, I know I am.
