Rainy Day and the Frog Room

Looking North. Can you see the Frog Prince on the quilt?

Rainy Day has always loved sun rooms, or as the Germans call them, 'winter garden rooms.' Rainy Day loves to sit in relative comfort and watch the dawn tip-toe quietly over the horizon. Rainy Day loves to sit in a rocking chair and write poems by moonlight or fog-glow. Rainy Day loves to read surrounded as closely by nature as possible, especially if she is warm and dry!

Looking East. All the little things on the window ledges are frogs.

So, Rainy Day spent the last of the inheritance from her uncle, and built a Sun Room, filled it with her frog collection, and calls it, what else? her Frog Room. As you can, see from the photos, it is a bright and cheery room, even when gray and gloomy outside.

Looking South. Door goes to covered patio, window to kitchen. 

She has yet to fill it with plants, but hopes to add plants this spring – perhaps a Myer Lemon tree or a Key Lime tree in a pot in the NE corner where the huge Japanese glass float is, hanging pots of Hoya and jasmine, and who knows what else under the slanty windows? And, for sure a Christmas Cactus or two for the white plastic drawer things she currently has in front of the windows.

In the meantime, Rainy Day waits patiently for the promised rain, or snow, or sun, so she can watch more than the dawn tippy toe into her mornings.  She wants to hear the rain on the windows or watch the snow fall. And, of course, she loves napping on the futon so she can watch the birds and squirrels outside as they watch her.
