"Please, Do Not Disturb . . . "

Barry Dixon, for Metropolitan Home

Greetings,

Saturday - high temperature  50 degrees, with steady rain.  Sunday - High temperature 54 degrees, with steady rain.  If you're looking for me this weekend.  I'll be in bed.  Resting after a busy, busy week here at the office - and hopefully sleeping off the last lingering remnants of my steady, lingering cold.

And if one is in the mood for a long afternoon of simple napping - there's nothing quite like a canopy bed.  Just that luxurious feeling of safely.  And comfort.  And the proper amount of decadence.

Which is your favourite ?

Lush and amazing.  Bright and embracing.

Or maybe something a bit more exotic?

Classic and feminine.  As one would only expect from the lovely Charlotte Moss.

Totally loving the gray and lavender colour story.

And the scalloped edge detail on the window and bed hangings is marvelous.

But, this is where I'll be.  My own little bed out by the beach in San Francisco.  

We've got nothing but damp, blustery weather forecasted all weekend.  

With any luck, I'll never even see the outside. 

Napping quietly,

Scot

Greetings,

Some days you just need to celebrate those small victories in life.  Today is just such a day.  Sing out the good news.  As of this morning, the clock in my car is right again.  Praise.

"The Clock"

"There's a neat little clock,--
In the schoolroom it stands,--
And it points to the time
With its two little hands . . . "

" . . . And may we, like the clock,
Keep a face clean and bright,
With hands ever ready
To do what is right."
