sunporch

Each wide-open empty bedroom in the house had a whole wall of built-in wooden cupboards and closets and a private sunporch.

Downstairs, a sunporch with orchids and potted shrubs faced a little square yard planted with orange and tangerine trees.

“Perennials makes the most durable floor coverings in really versatile patterns. Their handsome striped rugs enrich the character of almost any room and are exceptionally chic on a sunporch or in a greenhouse.”

I used sweet onions instead of red ones and added a hint of mint from the sunporch where I grow herbs in large terra-cotta olive jars I found years ago in France.

When she can't find the box, because Nandina has cleaned up and moved it, she walks sulkily out to the sunporch, whereupon a tree falls on the house, crushing the roof and Dorothy's chest.
