The Mistress is going to be tied up today with the Capital Street Duo and visiting Boy Wonders, who are coming to visit New Hope today, but with the current rain we will be limited to outdoor touring, at least till the sun breaks, so we may be reduced to being indoors, in pubs, for a few or a lot of stiffeners….tis life. It's been a calm morning around here so far. This little Hedge Sparrow was all by himself this morning taking refuge from the rain....
I was just waiting for my coffee. The lovely Agnes Goldberg De-Woofs sent me this lovely mug this week.
I arrived back from NYC late to find a box. She saw the mug and thought of me enjoying all the critters here. She was hopping there was one that included a fox, but there wasn't, but found this one with a squirrel and thought of my Bouvier. THANK-YOU Agnes for the lovely mug!!!! I love it! It's gifts of thoughtfulness like these one remembers years from now. I will now have a coffee today instead of an expresso.
And to see a truly spectacular bird post head over to the handsome Mr.DeVice's.
he's thinking "put pants on dude."
ReplyDeleteLet if all hang I say.
DeleteLOVELY mug, agnes!
ReplyDeleteWhat a charming mug!
ReplyDeleteNow that is a sweet little bird. Love the mug, it seems to have all your birds on there, I do spy a dove too?
ReplyDeleteThat's what caught my eye..all the different birds from the Mistress's window posts, which I love so.
DeleteA prefect day to stay in for me. Even in the rain those bird love you. Adoring the mug, and I don't even have any critters.
ReplyDeleteThe poor thing looks lonely. He's small.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful coffee mug.
ReplyDeleteLoves the birdy pictures. Abby is worried about the squirrel on the cup (even though the cup is adorable).
ReplyDeleteBuster didn't give it a second look. Lazy thing.
DeleteWhat a handsome little fellow. So glad there is a dry place to can replenish himself. So glad you liked the mug. I saw it and couldn't resist. Have a good time today.
ReplyDeleteMy what a beautiful mug you sent the mistress.
DeleteYour mug has been a hit Agnes....Thank you again!!
DeleteThat mug looks way too pretty to drink out of! It's gorgeous. Aw, that poor widdle sparrow. He looks cold, wet and lonely or he's just a Peeping Tom pervert. You choose.
ReplyDeleteI did wonder wear all his companions were. About an hour later they were all there. And the mug made a huge cup of java!
DeleteThat bird wants to come indoors
ReplyDeleteLooking for a perch no doubt.
DeleteThat mug is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteTied up? Isn't that kinky. Velvet or twine?
ReplyDeleteWhy pick... it all turns me on.
DeleteLove the mug. It reminds of a pair that we bought from our local zoo and gardens gift shop.
ReplyDeleteLovely colors.
Sure made one heck of a large cup of coffee.
DeleteThat little bird really tickled me today!
ReplyDeleteBoy, they are much smaller than a house sparrow aren't they. I have several bird I believe to be sparrows but you knows. I love the mug and that little expresso cup too. Both adorable.
ReplyDeleteThey probably are sparrows. There are five different breeds here, and the male and female often have different looks too.
DeleteThat poor little sparrow looks just like the ones that frequent the gardens here at Chateau DeVice. I think it may be the only bird that we have in common (yours being ever so much more glamourous - Just, don't tell Beaky I said so).
ReplyDeleteP.S. That mug is delightful! And thanks for the shout out - I've already had at least one very special guest!
It is amazing how different many of our breeds look isn't it? I would love to see some of that water fowl though....I have some snaps coming up from the outing yesterday.
DeleteCute little fellow. Do you find many birds in the rain Mistress?
ReplyDeleteHe had rain here yesterday and cooler temps...finally feels like fall.
Oh, Mistress. I read 'tied up' and got all excited. You tease. But yeah, on to the weather. It's insane here in the midwest. The temperature has swung like forty degrees in the last week all the birdies are gone. Fall is here.
ReplyDeleteSame here...the fall temps have finally set in. Time now for extra thick blankets, mulled cider cashmere sweaters and yes, being tied up if need be.
DeleteA lovely mug--very happy and charming! And a wonderful rainy day visitor--a gorgeous bird!
