At The Table In My Sunroom: There's a Hole in My Wall!

There's a Hole in My Wall!

This is the very view from the seat in which I began this post, until the mosquitoes attacked.

(Hey, I just wanted a little LIGHT in my house.)

Yippeee!

This is part of a kitchen renovation. The kitchen sink used to be behind this hole, and now it's

on the other side of the house.

This will be French doors, and the room behind them will be filled with light...and repainted. The red trim was "country," circa 1981.

The dogs think it's great!

Hi Jennifer
that looks to be a great idea. We live in glass houses down here - well almost and love the light although I have found that it is cold in the winter. I hope the days are warm while you get the hole finished off.
I'm glad you enjoyed the Chinese Fisherman poem.

Happy days

Good to see you again -- even if I'm a few days late getting here.

Hi Delwyn. Yes, that's why houses around here do not tend to have as many windows as I'd like, with 6 months of below freezing weather. But, I'm willing to trade a little sunshine for a possible chill. And, since the old wall and small window had no insulation, and the new window will be super efficient, I'm betting it will be warmer AND brighter.

Hi Meri, Thanks it's nice to be back, but I do miss my granddaughters and daughters.

Thanks for visiting. I love having you at my table with me.

A time has come in my life to reach into another place, to reach into a cobwebbed and stiff part of my brain - the creative part. And then, maybe to take what I find to hold it out to share. You see, I have never been creative (and am still not, you might say); I have experienced the world analytically. I now see there is so much more to the world than that.

This started with an idea to write a photo-journal to myself. In that journal, I would write and take photos of details to CONTEMPLATE the numerous sparkles of life I have around me, and CAPTURE them to last. So here I am, come join me....

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
