Sometimes images in black and white are more dramatic, don’t you think? Gas lights have so much character – they give off such nice warm light.
Happy Sunday to you! Can you believe tomorrow is already Monday? Where does the time go?
Catch you back here tomorrow!
There is something magical about the Fitzgerald Studio on Monhegan, Maine. This studio was originally owned by Rockwell Kent (read more about it HERE)!
I could easily live in this small studio – the windows that open out are pure heaven! I love the beautiful paintings and some of the artists items sitting around the studio as noted in this photo. If you ever get the chance to visit Monhegan, be sure to visit the museum and the Fitzgerald Studio!

Don’t waste your 86,400 seconds of this day – use them wisely. Do good. Be good. Spread happiness. Life is too short not to!

Sweet beast. Lover of his pool. Digging to China. Or wherever he thinks he’s going. Demanding. Sweet. Smart. Listens. Doesn’t listen. Jumps high.. Full of energy. Loves the sun. Not a fan of heat. Sock stealer. Owner of three beds. Has trained his humans well. Snap – Snap. Treats delivered. Frozen green beans. Diagonally sliced carrots. Crunchy ends of lettuce. Pasta lover. Good dog. Bad dog. Cucumbers daily. Proud little beast. Loves “his people”. Best burglar alarm ever. Eyes in back of his head. Can hear someone coming in a deep sleep.

SORRY to those of you who don’t deal well with the creepy crawly things – I can certainly relate!
Oh the memories… I had a realistic size black plastic spider 🕷 when I was a kid. On occasion I would leave it somewhere to surprise my family (sorry about that) – I would hear a SHREEEEEK – AH! They found it, hee hee. Undoubtedly I would forget about it and go about my business and when I least expected it, there it was 🕷 😳 A shreeeeeek would erupt from deep within, heart palpitations ensued. Ah, they got me back! There were long lapses in between spider hidings – I think I had to let the memory wear off, ha ha… Hmmm, wonder where that spider is?
You’ll hear me if I find it!
I always keep my eye out for cool flag photos for the various holidays that call for them. Today is the 4th of July (as if you didn’t know!) – Enjoy your time off (if you have it)! Happy 4th!
I am happy to be firework free, for both the dogs who have such a hard time as well as the veterans hearing what sounds like bombing. I can only imagine the nightmare that July 4th brings. We are fortunate that Charlie wants to attack the fireworks/lightening/any loud noise…
If you have a dog who is scared of fireworks, have you tried a Thundershirt? Or this unique way to achieve similar results using a scarf or ACE bandage. Maybe some background soft calming music (Pandora Ocean Sounds) or music from RELAX MY DOG– A lot of dogs are so frightened and if left in a yard will find a way out so that they can run. So many dogs are lost on the 4th of July. Ugh…
Be conscious of other people’s feelings regarding fireworks. They can be fun for some and a nightmare for others…
🇺🇸 Holiday week 🇺🇸 – posting photos daily for the many of you who are away from the computer. Not a bad idea, enjoy yourselves! Back to normal posting next week…
Have a great day and I’ll catch you back here tomorrow!
Fred and Charlie 🐾 – April, 2010 – Folly Beach, SC
There are all kinds of fathers in the world. I want to say thank you Fred for being the best dad to Charlie, the four-legged kid, who he is carrying down the steps (above) on Charlie’s first view of the ocean (April, 2010). He loves Folly Beach, ha ha… Fred, you’re the best! ❤️🙏
Me and Dad – December, 2006 – My “better than botox” shot, hee hee
Dad, thank you for being such a wonderful influence in my life. Your curiosity and ability to learn absolutely anything has made me equally inquisitive. Your calm demeanor and sense of humor is always refreshing. I have been so blessed to have such cool parents.
PS – I heard his daughter (me!) created a website (FidlerArt.wixsite.com/arts) to showcase his newest art creations! WOW, is it fantastic! Check it out!
❤️🙏
Fred’s Dad… Carlisle, AKA “DC”
Another great dad… Fred’s dad, Carlisle. Seen above camping and having a great time! Fred and I both know how lucky we are to have grown up with such wonderful parents! ❤️🙏
Beyond blessed, wishing those of you who are a father, a wonderful Father’s Day.
To those of you who want to be, or are about to be a father – lead by example. Teach your kids to do the right thing, to be kind, and to care.
And finally, to those of you who have lost your father (or your child). 💔 My thoughts and prayers are with you on this day. It cannot be easy… know that he is always by your side offering assistance whenever you need it.

Truly! What is better than a geranium full of buds? They’re so pretty and illuminate the table that they are now sitting on in the yard. It seems every time I look in the backyard it is glowing. This geranium is also pretty with the wild ferns in this photo… I love the shadows in the backyard – beautiful!

I have always loved daisies. They have a simple beauty about them. They aren’t bright or flashy, they’re just pretty and fresh. Hence the saying “fresh as a daisy” – full of energy and enthusiasm!
Wishing you a fresh-as-a-daisy day!

This is one of my favorite homes in Charleston, SC. We used to walk by it when we worked at a gallery on Broad Street. It’s got such charm! Of all the times I have walked by this house I have NEVER walked by without a car parked in front of it, so when I saw this I was ecstatic! SNAP that photo! I could sit on that porch all day long! So much to see right in this spot…
Have a wonderful Memorial Day, remember the reason behind this day off for many…. Thankful for all those who served and lost their lives fighting for this country. 🇺🇸 #thankyouisnotenough 🇺🇸

There has been a common theme to most of my posts this week… flowers. They’re stunning, in all shapes, colors and sizes they have been abundant this week! This is a photo I took of an arrangement that we had from a friend. Beautiful, isn’t it? So fresh and different!
Happy day!
Posting another week of photos so I can catch up! Back to normal posting next week!
When things seem impossible… remember they are not! How can plants grow in tiny crevices between a slab of concrete and a concrete wall? Where there is a will, there is a way! Always believe it!
That’s my glass-half-full thought for the day!

Spa day! The other day, when the weather was a little too chilly for an outdoor bath we took Charlie to Dolittle’s… it’s his store, he loves it (he loved it even more when he could eat dog treats, but is perfectly happy to at least stroll through and say hello sans doggie treats!) He was lathered up and then coated with a wonderful conditioner that kept his wild hair happy for some time! I think he enjoyed it!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to all the mother’s out there! Fred and I are beyond blessed to still have our parents, and we know that. Many of my friends do not and that’s tough… especially on a day like Mother’s Day, where we celebrate the moms in the world!
Happy Mothers Day to those of you who are mothers. This is your day… enjoy it, I’m sure you’ve earned it! 🌸
Happy Mothers Day to those of you who are not mothers, and aren’t going to be… whether by the ways of the universe or by your own plans and beliefs – be there for other children that come into your life. Help them be good kids – this world needs good kids and sometimes it takes a village. 🐾… and if your kids happen to have four legs, give them an extra special hug! 🐕
Happy Mothers Day to those of you who have lost your mother. Truly, holidays like this can be miserable. If you are in that place, try to remember the good times, do something today to make your remember your mom even more, whether it be cooking a favorite recipe of hers or spending time doing something she loved. I bet you will feel closer to her when you do… Remember, she’s never truly gone – she’ll be by your side forever… Hugs to you – this sucks and is not easy, my thoughts and prayers are with you today. 🙏
Happy Mother’s Day to both of our Moms – Love you to the moon and back! xo

Surround yourself with beauty – it doesn’t have to be expensive… a flower cut from the yard (preferably your own yard, ha ha) – or even a screenshot of flowers on the desktop of your computer. It will make you smile…
These were taken when I was at Costco one day trying to nonchalantly get some flower photos and stay out of the way at the same time. No easy feat, ha ha.
Happy Saturday!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
