The photo below shows one of my favorite times of the day. This is where I usually check my email, etc, and maybe read the paper before my morning walk (or bicycle ride now...) Notice the heater between the coffee table and the sofa? I optimistically turned down the thermostat on the fireplace last week. After all, it's already a week into July! right?
I like the sunlight coming in through the shutters, and the patterns created on the walls, the reflections on the coffee table, etc. Life is good.
