Sunday Snapshot ... Sunshine

As the sun gets higher in the sky as spring approaches, the sunshine through the windows in the house gives things a warm glow that I appreciate ... because spring appears to be dragging its feet, arriving much slower than usual.

This was the sun hitting one of my favorite chairs our living room bay window.  I don't usually find myself attracted to Victorian furniture, but I love this chair ... and we have had it for a long time.



This photo also shows a snapshot of the condition of our living room.  It is the only room in the house that is still in its 'deconstructed' state.

Anyway, I think I love this chair so much because the size is perfect, and it still retains its original wood finish.  Look at the detail on the crest!



In the family room, at the same time, Maggie was napping in the sunshine in the cat bed on the window sill.  There is almost always a cat in this bed.



On the lamp near Maggie, the sunshine made a terrifying shadow on the lampshade.  What appears to be a huge spider is actually the shadow of the lamp's harp and finial.  This sure gave me a shock, though, when I first spotted it!



Today is cloudy, and the weatherman says that we can expect to get a LOT of rain.  I plan to spend the day working on a presentation on climbing roses ... and maybe a bit of sewing this afternoon.  (Speaking of sewing, have you seen the link to my Greyhounds Rock Etsy store on the sidebar?  I quietly put it there the other day, and it's been getting quite a bit of attention already.  Thank you, everyone!!)

How are you spending your Sunday?
