Tahoe and Reno. In this house, they are living proof that it is not IF dogs ruled the world- ours DO.
Southern California almost made it through summer without a major heat wave. Then last week- the heat and humidity- it was like waking up in Houston. So I could finish the main field of the stained glass project in air conditioned comfort, I broke off the shackles of civilized housekeeping.

I am not one who tolerates clutter well- but I know that there is incentive to finish when one is not too comfortable. Or as in this case- finding benchmarks to work around.

Until the Dutch door is actually installed, the window isn't really finished. However, the progress is at a point where it can rest.
In the morning, the office phone will be turned back on. For my work as a writer, the garden view from my study reminds me to not get too comfortable inside. Heat wave or not- this is a glorious place to work from.

Oh Lydia,
ReplyDeleteThe window is just gorgeous! I do hope this one will have a place of prominence! All the ones you have done are outstanding but I think this will be my favorite.
Maybe there is something to us both being Capricorn because I absolutely cannot tolerate a mess either! However, when I know it's a means to an end I can endure it! :)
I sure do like your chimes by the spa. I need to get some new ones.
Anyway, just beautiful!!

Your Stained Glass work is so very BEAUTIFUL!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your two "Rulers Of The House"---they are just darling.
This HEAT and HUMIDITY has been atrocious....! I've been finding it very very hard....
Cute dogs. Pretty window. xo
ReplyDeleteHow had I forgotten that you do stained glass?! The design is exquisite, Lydia.
ReplyDeleteAs for temperatures, it's about 78F inside, too, at home. But probably 70F at work. Outside in the asphalt jungle? Well into the 100s.
Lydia, as you know, I just got back from Hawaii w/grandson. Got caught up on the entire blog that I'd not seen since the one on July 27.
ReplyDeleteAll of them are spectacular, but this view from your office window is just phenomenal and took me back to Kauai for a minute or so. I bet I wouldn't recognize your backyard since I was there for your mother's memorial. Both you and Gerry have done miraculous things! And again, I'm so looking forward to the comnpletion of your latest stained glass work of art!
If you would ever move, I hope you'd be able to take the pieces along with the beautiful benches, too with you.
Just a big thrill to see it all happen through the blog.
Thank you so much for sharing!
