How do you keep a little summer flair in the winter? Not a bad idea, or question. As for us, we bring some of our plants and flowers in the warmest room in the house - the sunroom.
It's also a great opportunity to re-pot many of the plants and flowers, giving them a new lease on life with rich soil.
From the sunroom you can see a deck with bird feeders, a water fountain, and to the right (not visible in this picture) a small birdbath. Of course, these items attract birds galore.
We've counted 21 bird species last weekend including those who fly over our house.
The nice treat for us this year is the small colony of Brown-headed Nuthatches who have decided to make their winter home in our very backyard!
The sunrooom is a great place to relax and read. I'm surprised how many times we would have family come over and we'll go straight to the sunroom instead of the living room. It's just cozy.
There goes a Mockingbird drinking in the birdbath I mentioned earlier!
Bu the way, the sunroom always has some banana trees (small ones) to give a little tropical feel...and fake colorful parrots from the Dominican Republic. Let's brace the winter!
Enjoy the holidays!
