In our old apartment, we had a piece of cat "equipment" known as the Cat Napper, a fleecy hammock thing that screws into the windowsill and allows Kitty to gaze out the window, revel in the fresh breeze, and make clacking gutteral noises when birds fly by. Here's what I came up with:. 1 upholstered footstool, purchased at Target for $20. Posted by Chrissa @ 2:03 PM.

However, I did remember this part: I always loved walking up the steep hill from the train station, seeing the old buildings clustered ahead. Parts of Providence feel very old, even downright Colonial. The neighborhood is full of big old houses, the kind I always think of as "sea captain houses," whomever originally built them. You know the type. We liked how "Grat...

For a long time I had this poster in my office (I love British transport posters. Both new and vintage). And while the poem declares that spring "goeth all in white," around here she seems to be favoring a rather rosier wardrobe. For the absence of spring's "pink-flowered glory," I thought I would share a few vicarious April thrills. Instead of...

While a lot of the campus is marred by sad mid-century architecture, the main gate and quad are very satisfyingly collegiate, even downright medieval. A baseball-capped coed trotted by me with a red Netflix envelope when I was lurking in there, and it struck me so funny that college students would subscribe to Netflix. I guess there's no reaso...

I was recently told that, like Rome, the city of Somerville contains seven hills, each with a name (in some cases several). Mount Benedict or Plowed Hill. Prospect Hill or Mount Pisgah. Walnut Hill, Strawberry Hill or Clarendon Hill. I had heard of a few of them, as they serve as names for neighborhoods, but the fact of. Links to this post.

And then it came to me in a flash of inspiration. Not something I'd read in Martha Stewart Living, but a line of dialogue. From "A Room With a View":. Observe my foresight.

Seven Hills: November 2005

I love great big iconic bridges that you can cross on foot. I've walked across the Golden Gate (and back), so this time in New York with some extra time on my hands after wandering around in Brooklyn, I thought I'd walk back to Manhattan via the Brooklyn Bridge.
