Open Your Windows

photo by ea

Describe what it's like to get up and go open a window in your home. What is your morning ritual - do you open your window? Do you air your linen? Do you sip coffee listening to birdsong? Are your windows a set of patio doors that open onto a terrace? Put me there.

This is my window; my kids made the sparrows at Sunday School. I am not looking for poems about this window, but about your own. I would love to see your photos if you have them and can post them.

Have fun!
