My kitchen windowsill

This is what my kitchen windowsill looks like right now.

Oh yes, lots of tomato sandwiches!

Cool breeze

The fresh morning air coming through the windows this morning feels heavenly.



I love this time of year.

Window boxes

Window boxes can add so much charm to a house and the nice thing is, they can be changed as the seasons change. Galen made two boxes for our front windows and I couldn't wait to get them up on Saturday.



Painting first, with a coat of white primer, and then the color of choice, which in our case is sage green to match the front door and shutters.

Otis decides to sit on the drop cloth as close to the project as possible.

My two helpers, always right there.

And here is the finished window box, with flowers. I just took the photo this morning. The plantings are still adapting but soon the boxes will be filled with color.

I'm looking forward to changing them for late fall and winter.

Thank you, Galen, for making these.

A window project

I took an old discarded window that was put in the trash, and painted some bright happy sunflowers on the glass panes.

Then I put some eye hooks on the top of the frame.

I hung it on the back screened-in porch, and when the sun shines in, it lights up with a warm glow of golden sunflowers.

A trash to treasure.
