These little birds are back in the kitchen again.

It's spring and so that means daffodils and yellow. I love yellow because it is such a cheerful color.
I like the way the light comes through the kitchen window at various times throughout the day.
Most of the blue glass is put away for now.
Daffodils smile at me.
Some fake daisies fill a yellow vase and brighten the countertop.
One of my roosters gets a place of honor.
Little chickens find a place to roost beside the hellebores.
In the morning my kitchen is quite dark, until the sun slowly works its way around to that side of the house.
Ruth Bell Graham, Billy Graham's wife had a sign above her kitchen sink that said,
"Divine service performed here three times daily."
I like that. I am not just washing the dishes and preparing meals I am doing something that pleases God and blesses my family.
I love my kitchen window and I have a saying above my kitchen window too.
Rhondi xo
I do love the writing above your window, Rhondi. I've also had a window above the kitchen sink in every house. At one time it was great to be able to watch the children in the back yard - do mums do that anymore? I can't think of too many young mums that stand at the sink after dinner and keep an eye on little ones - the little ones seem to all be watching TV or sitting at a keypad.
ReplyDeleteYour window is gorgeous!
Just lovely! Your kitchen makes me SMILE!
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is so welcoming Rhondi! I love the colors, the sun shining through....well just EVERYTHING!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Rhondi,
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous kitchen window. Of course I adore that blue glass against your yellow. I love the words written over the kitchen sink too.
Karen
I could be very happy in your cheerful kitchen. I adore the colors and love how you have assembled your pretty things. I also enjoyed seeing how it looks at different times of the day.
ReplyDeleteYour daffodils are ahead of ours. I have nice fat buds, but no flowers yet. I love your hellebores too. Your post today started my day on a happy note. Thank you for that.
The verse above your lovely kitchen window is one of my favorites. I like what Ruth Graham had above hers also. We are to do all with a grateful heart and as unto the Lord.
ReplyDeleteI love your blues and yellows. Your kitchen makes me feel happy.

Rhondi, your blog, every photo, and every writing, blesses my heart. The saying of Ruth Graham's and yours, above your sink, should be in every woman's kitchen, as a reminder of whom she serves..."do everything unto the Lord"...then nothing is too difficult or tedious. And your blue and yellow kitchen is the most beautiful I have seen...it oozes cheer and invitation to fellowship...I love it!
ReplyDeleteGod bless,
Mary
Your kitchen window...and all your kitchen that you show here...is so lovely. I enjoyed perusing your photos and even took a closer look on a couple of them. Your blue and yellow is stunning and all your little things so pretty. This post is good enough to eat!
ReplyDeleteHi Rhondi! Oh, what a lovely place to be in the kitchen! Love the saying over your window and that's a good one to remember. I love your blues and yellows and look at how you've arranged everything. This part of your kitchen looks alot like mine! I have little glass shelves in the window too and a cooking peninsula across from the sink. I'm loving all of your darling accessories.
ReplyDeleteI love coming over.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Rhondi, that is one beautiful little spot! It would make me happy to work there. I too love the saying above the window. I'll be singing that song all day now!

Oh Rhondi. Each time I open up your blog, it makes me sigh. I love the blue and white together. And your kitchen with the window and shelves is so lovely.
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is so cheerful and pretty. I always love your blue accessories and I love them even more with yellow:>)
ReplyDeleteIs there anything prettier than yellow accents in a blue and white room?
ReplyDeleteCan I come live with you?
Your kitchen is wonderful - the 'trim' in the back splash above the sink - is that a mosaic you did yourself - it is such a wonderful accent! I love the way you displayed your plates -
ReplyDeleteWhat a happy, relaxing, comforting and joyful kitchen you have. You are so talented and have such a creative eye. Thanks so much for sharing. Must be a joy to do dishes in that delightful spot.
ReplyDeleteYour kitchen is inspiring, Rhondi! The message above the sink is wonderful!

Love your window, what a joy it must be to stand there and work. The sunlight streaming through all the yellow and blue is so pretty, and the bible verse above it is so perfect. And of course it goes without saying I think no kitchen window is complete without a rooster! Thanks for sharing it with us.
ReplyDeleteRhonda, your kitchen is absolutely darling!!!I love roosters too, my husband not so much!!!
ReplyDeleteHello Rhondi...what a beautiful kitchen window! I love yellow ...I suppose that's obvious from my blog...but it makes me happy even on the darkest days. There's something about mixing yellow and blue's together that is just so classy...I love it! Thank you for sharing this with us today...even though it's raining here it was like a little ray of sunshine. Have a wonderful evening....Maura
ReplyDeleteHow pretty, all the blue and yellow. Of course, I love the rooster!
ReplyDeleteRhondi, what fun it is to see your cheerful kitchen. Blue and yellow are a favorite combination for me. How nice to have a window above your sink. I can just imagine you spending time in this sunny room.

Your kitchen is such a wonderful place! You've added sweet touches of yourself and the beauty of God's creation to a room that often gets passed by. I have been thinking of adding a shelf in my kitchen window and you have inspired me with yours. Love that saying of Ruth Graham Bell's.
