More light!

Oh, happy day! 
This month my home owners/neighbors have been getting the house fixed up a bit--it's 100 years old and there's hardly a straight line in the place––and yesterday my new full-glass door went in. 
(The door leads out to the porch/landing where I'm sitting at my new cafĂ© table, and the outside steps––
I've got 2/3rds of the 2nd floor of a moderate house.)


I loved the door immediately. In the late afternoon light, the room didn't seem much brighter for it . . . but this morning!
It fully illuminates my mess. 
A three-quarter screen door is being made––when that goes in, it will block some light. It's still a million times better than the old door, which was literally rotting in spots.

The biggest difference will come this winter when I don't have to stuff old wool sweaters in the cracks around the door, and kick ice off the door step.

I want to stay home and clean up, but I must go to work.
