the view from my kitchen desk
"With pomp, power and glory the world beckons vainly,
in chase of such vanities why should I roam?
While peace and content bless my little thatched cottage,
and warm my own hearth with the treasures of home."
Beatrix Potter
A quote after my hermit's heart.

Nice quote, and an even nicer photo!
ReplyDeleteThanks, David. :) You know how I love to be home!
Deletealways I think the view from your kitchen is beautiful!
ReplyDeletePerfect place for my desk...but I admit it can be a little distracting,
Deleteespecially if I have by camera close by!
Great shot indeed
ReplyDeleteMy hermit self agrees with the quote too at our feed
Hermits unite.
DeleteWe're wise and bright.
Leave us alone.
Crowds make us groan. hahaha.
My Friend, that is a breathtaking view! I love Beatrix Potter! :)
ReplyDeleteMe, too. She has quite a few quotes that I love!
DeleteI have visited Hilltop Farm twice, but it is not thatched! However there is a magnificent fireplace in the entrance hall that I would dearly love to own! It would be lovely to sit by in the Winter, toasting crumpets.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great photo of your window, shame it's not real stained glass. If I lived near you I would make you a splendid one for your kitchen; mind you it would cost about $10, very expensive! Ha!
. . . and plateful of your home made cookies, naturally.
Delete$10 and a plate of cookies. It's a deal. When are you moving? :)
DeleteThis is the "fly-in-the-ointment" as we say in the Home Country. It will cost me $91,943.60 to sell up here and buy a place in Cedarville and cover my expenses, and that is just an estimate! (I know your cookies alone are worth that!) Ha!
DeleteFlattery will get you everywhere. haha.
DeleteBetsy you have touched my heart deeply. I adore Beatrix Potter. This quote is lovely the picture is even Lovelier thank you.
ReplyDeleteSome times things just fall together.....like the photo taken this morning and the quote on my calendar this afternoon! :)
DeleteSuch a pretty photo! And I love the nice quote. =)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Thank you. I thought they went together nicely....and
Deletesaid just what I was feeling today. :)
The color on your window goes perfectly with the colorful leaves!
ReplyDeleteThat's a huge burning bush. We naively planted it on the shady side of our hour 20 years ago and now that it has grown as big as the house, the top of it get enough sun to turn red. lol.
DeleteJust beautiful! And you have made your home so lovely.
ReplyDeletethank you :)
DeleteLovely view and a poetic quote . . . loved them . . :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ed :)
DeleteWho knows what extra marvels Shakespeare might have bestowed on us if he had a view like that to look at from his writing desk . . . so get writing, girl . . . :)
DeleteThis Cherokee girl would slaughter the Shakespearean language for sure! haha.
DeleteI see I'll have to start calling you Hiawatha . . . :)
DeleteIt's always been Pink Cloud. :)
DeleteI love the view! I bet most any weather looks good through that window.
ReplyDeleteSnow looks pretty good, too! haha.
DeleteWhat a great view.
ReplyDeleteThank You! :)
DeleteBeautiful window! You have a desk in your kitchen?!
ReplyDeleteI certainly do. It was a breakfast nook with three windows and we put a desk there for me.
DeleteThat way I can work and stir the spaghetti sauce at the same time. haha.
Hi Betsy - beautiful view through your delightful window ... why indeed should you roam with those colours in your site ... stunning - cheers Hilary
ReplyDeleteBeatrix was such a wise one, wasn't she?
DeleteMakes my homebody heart smile! blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteI totally agree!
DeleteI'm a hermit at heart, too. Just as well given that I've only been out twice in over a year. Love this photo when I saw it on IG and love it here.
