Seeking shelter

Photos: House Beautiful

After two weeks of gorgeous sunny weather the rain is coming down in truckloads today. So we're seekeing shelter inside - but I would much rather be sheltering from the sun in the pics above. I love the sheer drapes and the colonial feel.
The few days I've had at home between visiting relatives, I've spent in the garden. I think today is the day the 'panel painting' begins! I just have to check my basement first. Last year the summer rain flooded my laundry room.
Later, I'll reward myself for my effort with some blog-strolling - so many of you left comments for my birthday (thank you so much!) and in between are some bloggers who are new to me. I just can't wait - but that's what the panels have been telling me as well for some time now...
