Autumns Warm Glow

H and I took a long stroll around the back yard tonight.      I had the lights turned on inside our little cottages scattered around the yard.     We also have a tall yard light that comes on at dusk  and  gives the whole yard a nice glow.

It was a gorgeous fall day and we enjoyed working in the yard.    We cleaned the flower beds and greenhouse.     The tomato bushes in the greenhouse had quit producing and were leggy,   so we pulled them up.     Our bushes behind the studio are still producing about a dozen small tomato's per day..

See how the big yard light floods the whole yard.    It' a commercial street light that the electric company installed in the alley behind our house.     It is well worth the  $12.76 we pay each month.'

Over the week end,  I finally found a $2 yard sale lamp shade for H's giraffe lamp that he bought  this past summer at the auction.    

   I've had this chandy in the guest bath for the last few years,   but had replaced it when we did our redo because two of the arms had quit working.     H rewired it today and hung it in the greenhouse.

I put a comfy wicker chair in the greenhouse and plan to spend some warm afternoons this winter..... 
enjoying a cup of tea,  and a good book.

I had my first cup of tea this afternoon in the greenhouse.....on one of my many breaks...lol!     I couldn't find any markings on the bottom,  any idea who made it ?

Thank you so much for stopping by.....come back soon!

  1. Oh, Penny, fresh tomatoes sound so good! I LOVE your hubby's giraffe lamp. I think every home ought to have a giraffe somewhere. Your teacup is really lovely. Not sure of the maker but it is lovely with its gold, posies, and scallops. Thanks for joining me for tea today.

    Blessings,
    Sandi
