Among some of my favorite days are those at home with the windows open, a light breeze blowing to cool the house and bringing with it the sweet smell of spring. My favorite window of all is the window above our kitchen sink, overlooking the side yard and an old shade tree.
The combination of the sound of birds chirping, a light breeze and the sun shining somehow make even chores enjoyable when I'm standing here.
(Made even better by the sweet perfume of peonies (thanks to my neighbor).)
I hope you have a wonderful spring week!
Andrea, I can smell that sweet spring air scent... brings back memories for me for sure... Love your house and I love the simple lifestyle you are living... Have a Blessed Spring day...

I know exactly what you mean, Andrea. I love to have the windows open on a beautiful day, especially in the kitchen. It does make everything a little more enjoyable!
ReplyDeleteThis is my most favorite time of the year. Beautiful view helps while doing the dishes...im sure.
ReplyDeleteNothing like having the windows open when the weather gets warmer.
ReplyDeleteI so agree with your love of open windows ~ and I've been able to have mine open during this beautiful Spring!
ReplyDeleteI opened the whole house up this week- it is the first time we have been able to do that this year. I can;t' wait for something to bloom so we have good smells, too- xo Diana

ReplyDeleteYour home reminds me of days gone by. Nothing is more wonderful than the scent of flowers drifting through the windows. Have a patriotic Memorial Day. God bless you, Kathleen in Az
ReplyDeleteI so enjoy your posts, they are uplifting, and wholesome. They remind me of my childhood on a dairy with all the animal care and gardening and cooking posts you do. Thank you for all of the beautiful pictures you take, your simple and yet so welcoming home. Keep doing what you do!!
ReplyDeleteYour house and garden are so beautiful. I always wanted to live in place like that.

Oh I can just smell that wonderful country air . . . how nice to be able to open your window and look out to that bucolic setting...and the peonies are beautiful..
ReplyDeleteWe've been enjoying a beautiful spring here in New York, as well. The windows have been open for about a week now without any kind of air conditioning needed. It's supposed to get warmer (mid 80's) this week so I know the windows will be closed soon enough. For now, I'm enjoying them being open and listening to the kids playing on the playground of the elementary school that is behind our house and the mama bird that has built a nest right outside our back door. : ) Have a wonderful day!!! xo
