Sunny Day.....


It is a warm spring day.  The weather is acting normal for a change.  We might even get hot today.  The morning clouds are from the view of the new deck. They seem to look like this in all directions and maybe for all day.  Rain is suppose to come later in the afternoon.

The sunroom company doesn’t want to do these two products.  The asked us to go buy an outside light and a ceiling fan.  It was suggested we buy them immediately  and have them waiting for the electrician. The electrician will be here tomorrow.


We have a real oak beam at the peak and we need a fan to hang from it.  The beam is actually a u-shaped on that slips over the white metal one that extends from the house’s roof to the end of the peak of the sunroom. It almost looks out of place with the white ceiling but it will work.

I don’t remember buying them but the pale yellow tulips look great. The whole plantings in this area look good and in late spring we will fill in with some petunias.  A new planned flower area will go in near here next to the front door to be a memory garden for Barney.  We both thought of it in the past few days and we need to go shopping.


We are having a very warm spring day today.  It does inspire me to get out and get sum yard work done. I mowed the yard up so the lawn treatment company can work on it tomorrow.




Happiness was finding this William Baffin rose for sale last fall.  Now with a whole new planting area developed because of our new room and deck I may end up moving this before it gets too settled in there. I am looking forward to the challenge of many new planting area and landscaping with shrubs but I really don’t want to rush in to it.  I think living with a newly created veranda under our sunroom and another area with the deck will need to be lived in for a while before anything can happen.

These tulips were planted willy nilly last fall but they do look good here.  I have plans to box in the area with wood and make it more like a shallow raised garden area.  I don’t like there is no edging on this garden as the grass keeps creeping into it.

Sunday is a good day for rest and we have done that today.  We went to a place that had southern fried chicken for lunch and we carried home half of that.  We have rested all afternoon.  I just now am finishing the blog after starting it this morning.  Thank you for checking in today.  I wish you all well for the rest of this day.

Nice that you have the outside light and ceiling fan waiting for the elec. We replaced the light and fan in our kitchen recently with the help of an elec. Your yard is so pretty I am loving the display of tulips. Your rose bush will be beautiful, too. Hope all goes well today with the sunroom.

Good idea for your Barney garden. We will plant a wild rose over Chance's grave....he loved eating rose hips:)
