I spend a lot of my time inside. Especially through the (soon to be over) winter. This weeks show and tell is especially poignant for me as i just spent one of the longest and loneliest winters of my life looking through these windows.
The kitchen window is the one i spend the most time looking out. I see trees. In the winter it is dark and wet and lonely and makes me wonder what the hell i am doing here in the middle of nowhere. Nobody to talk to. Nothing to do. Too wet to go out. Too depressing to stay home. But then spring comes and even in the woods things begin to change.
The other window i look out all the time is a corner window off of the living room, which is not to be mistaken for the playroom. the playroom is where the toys and tv and computer are. In the living room it's all books and music and fire. I don't spend much time here, but i love it. No toys allowed. It's always clean. I never though i would have a room like that (it's not off limits to kids or their music, or books - just toys) but now that i do i know why it's so awesome.
Please accept my apology for crappy photo quality, it is late and i really wanted to participate but damn it's late.

oh!
that chair -
that lamp!
those windows are so big!
I want to see the rest of the house...
and, I suppose I'll have to hit the archives to see why it's been such a bad winter.
I'm sorry it has, and that spring will bring a different experience.
