Summertime Fun

The Magic Onions Blog

Today is the summer solstice, 2016. The longest day of the year. It is HOT here in Southern California today. VERY hot! It’s not quite noon yet and the temps are already 97 °F. My phone says that it will get well past 100°F today. This kind of heat is not my favorite. Today is […]

Christmas Kitten

We had a wonderful Christmas at The Sunny House. The highlight was the arrival of a new member of our family. He is Teddy’s first animal. We are calling him ‘Christmas Kitten’ at the moment because arriving on a ‘forever’ name has been quite a challenge for Teddy. He’s gone from Rex to Flint to […]

  I love love love having fresh cut flowers in the Sunny House.  What could be more beautiful than a vase of blooms in every room? So, when I was asked if I wanted to take part in a flower delivery collective, to display flowers in my home, of course I said yes! I don’t […]

Granny is here for July. We LOVE Granny so much. Here she is playing Rummy with Teddy. They are so sweet together. Also, do you see my crocheted throw? My mom brought it to me. It was crocheted by my Great Gran when she was 100 years old. Can you believe that! What a treasure. […]

Corners of our Home

We moved into our beautiful home almost two years ago. Did you know that my Good Man built it? With his own two hands, every piece of wood, every door, every window. It was a labor of love. He worked on it for two years, after work late into the night… and on weekends, every […]
