Plants, Sunshine, and Windows

Living green plants absolutely add to the beauty of life.

Putting them in front of windows doubles the effort.

When morning sunshine starts to pour in through the greenery, it's cause for joy.

In many of the apartments and houses lived in throughout the decades, there were always windows with sunshine coming in.

More often than not, it filtered through lacy curtains.  Yeah, old-fashioned is okay around here.

In the current small apartment, there are only two windows so sunshine comes in sparingly at the beginning of the day in one window and at the end of the day in the other.

That's kind of sad for someone who loves sunshine coming in through lace-covered windows.

Plus, the apartment is way too small for lots of plants.  

On the bright side, gratitude is deep for a place to live.

One can always go to other peoples' houses to see great big beautiful green plants in front of large windows!

Lights, Plants, Relaxation!

 

We don't decorate our spaces all at once.

Decorating is a step by step task that falls into place over the course of time.

I love big, tropical plants but, alas, there's not much room here in my current place of residence because it's a small apartment.

However, in corners or in narrow spaces magic happens!

For instance, in a very narrow space to the side of a buffet there was room for one (faux) plant!  It nestles a favorite lamp with red shade and a big bouquet of red flowers.  

At night, when at the computer or watching tv, this space brings calm, comfort, and a smile or two.

Here's to your Friday being blessed.  Stay cool!
