The sun, it rose up from the belly of sea, found its bedding up in those clouds, it hung for years.

Today was like spring. I walked around for hours and felt free and light without a heavy coat on. The sun was nice and he's slowly beginning to stay longer growing the days little by little.  Our apartment is bright and open - I wake up happy in the morning. We turn on music and dance around while making breakfast. Ludwig follows me around everywhere I go. (He's sleeping in my lap now making little snoring sounds.) I'm inspired and motivated, looking forward, dreaming and planning. Anything is possible, if you want it enough.

Our House: The Bedroom.

View from our bed. 

The shelf.

The hanging garden under the skylight.

The stairs are a little treacherous in trinity homes.

The skylight and the planter for herbs I made out of a shoe organizer. 

Clockwise from top left: Tomato, sunflowers, cucumbers, and another tomato.

I've decided to share some photographs of our house, because I've noticed online there is very little to offer on the subject of Philadelphia's trinity homes. These houses were built between 1790 and 1840, and most of them are in Philadelphia. They are really very unique, and I love the one we live in. Usually they are very small three story houses with each floor being only one room. The kitchen is always in the basement, and the spiral staircases are always tiny and treacherous! (There are also fireplaces in every room - very nice in the winter time.)  It's like living in a hobbit home, really. The photos above are from our bedroom, which is the third floor. I went on a painting spree recently, because I had a few days off from work before Jim and I went on our trip. Our landlord gave us a painting allowance when we moved in and he never specified a colour - so of course we chose a very exciting yellow for the bedroom. After doing all the painting I'm kind of sad we'll be moving within the year to Taiwan.. In the past five years I've moved a total of eight times (yikes.) It gets old quick! Anyway, I'll eventually photograph the whole house and post one room at a time.
