I love the sun, love capturing it, and
enjoying it indoors as well as out. Our
first place in Baltimore was sunless. It
was basically a cave and needed the lights on all day during the peak of
winter. Luckily we had a nice stoop
which got sun all day and there was a park near by. Our second place had lovely lovely morning sun. It was east facing with a lovely bay window
which even gave us a glimpse of the South which is the sunniest face a window
can have in the Northern hemisphere. I
know it doesn’t take a genius to work this out but I know it because
my parents' house is North facing in NZ and we love the sunlight their lounge
gets, though her furniture doesn’t!
Our current apartment has both
East and West facing walls so we get sun for a large portion of both the
morning and the afternoon. In the
mornings I stretch out on our bed with my study and a coffee – sun is not
conducive to staying awake! Then in the
afternoons I aim to have everything done by 4:30, when the sun really starts to
come in those windows. Today we
rearranged the lounge so that our table - which is where we study - isn’t
directly in the sunlight and I can lie on our couch with a good book and enjoy its
splendours.
Probably the sunniest spots will be
stolen by the pot plants soon enough but they are currently enjoying being outdoors while
the weather remains mild.
I too love the sun, I could do with a neer ending summer...Although I do love to see all the beautiful soft new growth in spring and the rainbow of colours in autumn.
