room with a view


Seems like I've spent a lot of time this year looking out our windows, as winter came with a vengeance, and spring has taken her sweet time coming back here to the south. Even now the gorgeous vistas out the window are deceiving as it is still cold with a stiff breeze that seems here to stay. I love the views out my windows, particularly as people or little creatures pass by (a possum recently boldly visited us in broad daylight), and I like what is in my windows, especially when the sun shines through pretty colored glass. I've been working on a big project on my computer these past weeks and tire easily of my little windowless office, so am drawn to the dining room table where I can work in this "room with a view." (Notice the little glass-etched sun catcher I bought in Ecuador many years ago. It sure does it's job at flinging around bursts of sunshine.)

Above: a gray day outside our bathroom window. Yes, it's up high over our heads. :-)

See Window Views and Doors Too  for other (possibly more) interesting window and door views.

  4. Well it looks like a truly beautiful day there. The teal and green glass jars are great. I can see why you prefer the dining room to a windowless office.

    Hope that you are enjoying your week!

  5. I love sitting in the sunshine on the couch to read my Bible and look out the window at the same time!

    I'm wondering how you do your picture collages. Do you put them together on photoshop first or do you do it somehow in the blogger program?

  6. Love the colors of the glass vases in your window. They remind me of the sea. I'm looking forward to have green grass and flowering plants to look at outside my windows. Soon I hope! Tomorrow is supposed to be 68 degrees. Come on spring!

    Best,
    Bonnie

  14. I think we all like looking out our window in our kitchen. There is something comforting about it isn't there?
    What a beautiful day today.

    Ohh my...and what a beautiful view it is, my friend! I love your pretty colored bottles...the pretty blue and green striped bottles are my favorite! I bet when the sunlight shines on them, they reflect the prettiest images around the room!

    Well, we have had a glorious week of sunshine and warmer temps at my place this week...until last night! It is snowing like crazy at my place, in fact we are under blizzard warnings! Eeeks! As the Lord says, there is a time and season for all things! I'm thankful for the winter season and I'm hopeful for Spring! Lord give me patience! hehe!

    Well sweet lady, I wanted to come by and say hello and also tell you thank you for coming by and taking a peek at my Spring Green tablescape! I really enjoyed your sweet note...it just made my day! I enjoy your visits, Ms.P! Thank you!!!

    Warmest wishes,

  16. I love the text you've taken from the book for your thankfulness post. Lovely! I love the colored glass in your windows and the view beyond; your beautiful flowers after the rain; and your wonderful blue tablecloth and dinnerware. Gorgeous! Spring has sprung while we are having dusty days. Yuck! Hope you are having a warm and wonderful weekend. Many blessings, Tammy
