Day One Hundred Six 2012

Beautiful Sunday

Enjoyed this beautiful windy sunny Sunday afternoon, mostly outside. Neil and I bought some plants from a guy who sets up his greenhouse in town every spring~~Lantana, a couple of Geraniums, an Asparagus fern and another couple of big potted ferns that I will have to re-pot. I hung my curtains (sheets, actually) up on the front porch, which creates a nice little cozy hideaway that's great for reading, plus the sheets block the afternoon sun. I'm sure people driving by think I've hung my bedsheets out to dry. They don't know I'm tucked away back there, sitting in my creaky wicker rocker, reading some novel, listening to my wind chimes making music. Not too shabby. Hope your Sunday was a good one, too.

Day Two Hundred Forty Nine 2010

Shade

My front porch is bright with western sunlight in the afternoons. I've been known to grab a sheet and tack it up with thumb tacks to provide some shade for late afternoon porch sitting and swinging and rocking. So for Mother's Day this past May, my daughters gave me some pretty curtain rods, curtain ring clips, and big white sheets that combined to make some stylin shade for my porch. I know. It took four months to get this done, but this Summer has been too hot to even think about sitting on the porch. Since the temps are taking a cooler turn, those rocking chairs and the porch swing beckon. Thanks for the shade, dear Daughters!
