Sunshine At Last!

I was standing here in my usual spot at the peninsula in the kitchen earlier this morning, catching up on happenings in the cyber-world while the dogs and cats were finishing their breakfast, and something wonderful happened.  After seven consecutive days of grey, wet weather, we have bright sunshine and blue sky outside! 

View from my spot at the peninsula through our dining room window, toward our barn at the back of the property.
 
 
It is windy and cold, but that's okay ... the sun is out, and I am going to need sunglasses when I go out to the store later today.  There sunshine puddles throughout the house for the cats to enjoy, and the baby roses in the greenhouse should be warm and toasty by mid-afternoon. (I'm not running the heat in there this winter, so solar heat is all it gets.)
 
Later today, if everything goes even remotely as planned, I expect to be hanging clothes in our new master bedroom walk-in closets!  (cue the happy dance!)  Finishing the outer part of the new wall, with all the doors and molding?  I'm going to make like Scarlett O'Hara on this one ... tomorrow (or whenever) is another day.

  1. I was beginning to think I lived in Seattle with all the rain we've gotten - the river is pretty high near our house. But the sun is shining here today as well, just in time for the weekend (GO RAVENS!!)!

  11. Seeing any splashes of sunshine sure make a huge difference in your day, don't they, Connie? Winter in Michigan is always so dark and cloudy...totally opposite of winter in Colorado where they get snow, but at least they have sunshine between the snowfalls! :) Can hardly wait to see pics of your new closet...!!!!!

  12. Sunshine, I am looking forward to it!
    We have mostly gloomy grey days with lots of snow. Temp. minus 8 degr.C. I had some baby roses in the cold greenhouse but have put them now in the heated conservatory. Have read your post about rose cuttings in plastic bottles, that's new to me and I certainly shall try this later in the year. Thank you!

  13. Janneke, I hope you have good success rooting roses in the bottles like I do. It is so simple, and it works so well for me!

  14. LOL..yes, the sun was a welcome sight, wasn't it? That view out your window is so pretty! Connie, we tried the rose cutting rooting with the milk jugs and coke bottles and it's working. Last time I checked we had little green leaves. So exciting! I am anxious to start my Spring seedlings but I know it's way too early yet. I made some seedling pots out of newspaper this past weekend. It's been fun playing in my neighbor's greenhouse. Have a great week Connie. xo
