Summer in the living room

The season is officially changed, the warm sofa rug now in the laundry, replaced by the white quilt.  The loveseat quilt is turned over to show the wedding ring side. 

Last evening as soon as I heard about the latest Iran lunacy, I ran to do a bit of seed planting. 

Tomatoes, if we are lucky. Complete with squirrel proofing.

Today's walk disturbed many frogs all leaping and diving on the other side of the pond, squirrels unworried, and many bird calls.



I'm hearing a Carolina wren with a variation on the usual teakettle teakettle teakettle TEA. This rugged avian is singing teaKETtle tea KETle TEEEEEE.  Maybe it's a local accent. A Joisey boid.

I came home through the street and saw these fun things. A lot of my neighbors do whimsy.


And here's a very tiny bunny. 


The gate is about three or four inches from the ground, to show you how small. He's a teacup size.

Happy day everyone, try to find something to be joyful about. Let's not let those people steal what fun we can find.

  1. I like your summer decor! Some years we lift our living room rug when the weather gets warm, but we haven't done it this year. Olga slips around a bit on the wood floors.

    A very cute bunny, and I laughed at the "Joisey boid."

    1. I'd be careful about an old dog, too. Don't want a dislocation if she falls.

  2. Your summery decor looks so cool and comfortable. You've made me think that perhaps I should turn the quilt that covers the pullout couch/bed in my sewing room so the lighter side is on top.
    I'm refusing to listen to the news today...maybe tomorrow. It's too hot here to be incensed at the same time.

  3. A sweet little bunny ate the flowers off of my dahlias! I had sprinkled some cayenne pepper around and that seemed to be working but we had a hard rain and I forgot to cover them with the cayenne pepper again.

  4. Your living room looks cheerful. I really like all the art. That is a tiny bunny! Some unpleasant words escaped my mouth when I saw what they did in Iran.

    1. I like the changeover. Of course immediately the temp dropped, rain, not summery.

  5. Looking forward to late tomatoes. Thanks for lightening up my day (so far). I'm headed to a museum to stay cool this afternoon! Just have to walk between parking garage up hill to the museum.

    1. I hope you blog about the museum. About the tomatoes, I'll take anything I can get. We have a long growing season so if they get started, they'll have a chance.

  6. You had the best reaction to the news. Planting seeds is hope for peace.

    1. I think it's better than wringing my hands, anyway.

    1. I suspect a lot of sudden gardening is happening in the US.

  8. I love the summer living room with all your creations (and the wedding ring quilt). I don’t have seeds to plant, so I drew. Yes I did!
