My kitchen is lit with life-affirming, glorious sunshine. It makes this homey, happy room even brighter with its light wood cabinetry, touches of royal blue and cheery yellow.

Beautiful weekend of sunshine in Portland! A glorious sign of renewal. Unfortunately it came with a fresh supply of chocolate. Good thing the sunshine makes it easier to exercise!
My favourite Beatles song! And about as good as I ever got playing the guitar. Shame we have absolutely no sun around here at the moment.
