Twilight Time

by admin on September 2, 2010

There is a time of day that I love.  The time when the sun begins to set. I’m usually outside watering our garden boxes and potted flowers.  I like this time of day – it seems quieter.  I can hear the neighbor behind us laughing and talking as a family.  Sometimes I can hear a lawnmower in the distance.  It’s so nice to hear the sounds of life slowing down and calming to a gentler pace.

I needed to make a quick trip to get milk last night and I saw something so sweet.  I wish I had a camera.  A couple was walking hand in hand strolling along in the early evening.  The wind was breezy and cooling.  And they walked along barefoot, smiling and chatting away.  It was so cute.

So a little advice – take some time outside during the early evening.  And enjoy that peaceful time of day.

Seeing with New Eyes!

by admin on August 29, 2010

Well our new furniture came and I am all in a fuddle!!!  First the couch and love seat are curved!!  I did not notice it when ordering.  I am working my way through that issue.  I love the color and leather and quality.  Now I am trying to get the furniture in the room.  My husband worked on it for a while and now I need to tweek it some.  But, I need to find something else to replace the old green love seat.

Any suggestions?  I am thinking a big comfy chair or two chairs.  Or put the new love seat below the window and put one or two chairs where the new love seat is sitting.  Please share and help me!

View from above.

Okay – I need to move the couch to the right some.  But then the love overlaps some with the couch.

Oh!  the flowers look bad!  They need an update.

Opposite wall from couch.  Now you know the truth!  We still have an old TV!

The sick feet of a virus fighting teenage boy!
