Follow the Light :)

Have i told you lately how much i enjoy my 2B class!?  I popped in this evening to find the most wonderfilled wonderful and inspiring chat from Kim....just when i was beginning to feel like the dreary of winter was never going to end, and have been lamenting the nasty cold and wind of the past week.

Kim talked about light.  A subject dear to my heart.  I simply ADORE light!  i can not live without it streaming into my life and my house.  It baffles me to go to my daughters houses and find curtains closed and blinds shut tight....what IS that???  like living in a cave....i run around opening curtains and blinds after they leave to go where they are going!

i live in a house built over 3 time periods....the oldest section dates back to the mid 1700's....the other sections are additions to the tiny one room farmhouse, and were added in 1826, 1920,  and the last addition in the early 1930's.  i often "follow the light" from room to room when doing photo's inside.
Early morning light at the front of the house...late day light at the back of the house.  Midday light on the covered porch...and i am lucky enough to have a white room off the kitchen with loads of late afternoon light.
The photos i chose to include here were taken in mid morning, at my open front door in the 1826 section of the house....in the room that was probably once a parlor of sorts, but is actually my dining room now.

There is nothing more beautiful that light streaming inside.  it brightens more than just the room. It makes my spirit soar!
