As I mentioned, I took more than 200 photographs when I was visiting M last week. There are some shots that really didn't go with any of the sections I wrote, but I like them anyway, so here they are.
This was outside the county historical society's consignment store. Lots of treasures there.
Seeing an artichoke plant is Maryland is very unusual.
A butterfly in the kitchen garden, which we chased away so it wouldn't lay eggs.
A is a very talented needlewoman and her works are scattered through the house. 
Another cane from the collection. I love the look on this guy's face.
We were sitting here having coffee the first morning I was there when a bald eagle flew right over us. I've seen them before on the Bay and it's great to know that they're coming back from the brink of extinction. As I am packing to leave, Connor's hiding out from Mitzee and grabbing a quick snooze. Thanks again, M & A!
I am glad to see Connor made himself right at home!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a wonderful time - thanks for sharing with us!
Shoot, it's over? What room is that that Conner is relaxing in?
ReplyDeleteagain, all the photos are great- but the one with connor, happily making himself at home on someone else's furniture, is my fave.
ReplyDeleteOhhh those photo's absolutely amazing.The butterfly is so beautiful.I wouldn't mind having many little ones of those around ( but not in my salad I agree)
ReplyDeleteAnd that white fence with the flowers(we call them hortensia's but you call them hydr..can't remember.)precious precious mom time.

PS your dog is so cute!If I ever consider taking another dog I think it will be a lab.
Meg - what a treat - and your hosts must have been thrilled as well that their guest had such a fine eye and appreciation for her surroundings. Thanks for sharing the images. I have to click away so Rosie does not see Connor's perch. Is the throw fur? If she sees it I'll hear nothing but how she only get to sleep on cushions.
ReplyDeleteMeg -- all of the pics you have shared really reflect the great quote in your sidebar about an extraordinary life.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the pics! The first one is my fave!
ReplyDeleteLots of great pictures but my favorite is the artichoke. OK, Connor curled up on his chair is a pretty close second.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh...where to begin. First, LOVE the garden set and the hydrangeas. And thenaks for the needlepoint shots!!! I am taking mine with me to England!!!
ReplyDeleteI only wish I could have been here as well!!! Next time - love the pictures and the fact that Mitzi was too tired to even get excited about my return from our (2 daughters & my) trip to Alaska - it is really fun to see someone else enjoying everything as much as we do - love the pup on the chaise!!!
ReplyDeleteAlice - thanks for visiting my blog! I was sorry to have missed you all, as well. Now that we know how much Connor and Mitz love each other, we shouldn't let them be strangers.
ReplyDeleteHope to see you soon! xoxo
Fun - love the outdoor seating table. Looks like such a lovely time.
ReplyDeleteI want a cane collection!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Flowers and I love the photos of the quirky details like the cane collection lol.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
This is only a small part of the cane collection. Sometimes, to get one cane, you have to buy the whole lot of them at auctions!
ReplyDeletethe butterfly looks like the batmobile or a kite that i would fly on the beach as a girl.
