Life since I last posted in April:
We set up the piano in our sunroom for my husband. Our home is small and there’s not a better place – so we have to wait for ‘warmish’ temperatures.
Originally this space was an uncovered deck. It took three years, along with Bruce working full-time and us living our busy lives but he turned it into a sunroom!
We enjoy this cozy, fun space on and off from about April through September. It’s great overflow for our small home – especially with the three grandchildren visiting. We open the French doors from the sunroom to the dining area and the house seems so much bigger. Eating out here and getting cozy in one of the padded chairs with a book is so snug, so homey. The garden flowers and the fountain in the little pond Bruce built are easily enjoyed in the sunroom without bugs or weather.
This was taken in late April with us still getting a lot of snow. I am writing in early June with mornings in the upper 20’s to low 30’s. While I like the chilly mornings, the temperatures seem unseasonably cold – climate change is a real thing. I hear some folks in other parts of the world / country are already sweltering.

The geese came back from their warmer winter home to get snowed on here
We never get tired of this view – I hope you don’t either!

Here we are late April with the snow having melted on the sundrenched ground – though it returned in May!

Life is the little moments…
What little moments bring you joy?
