I love to stand at the sink looking out at the barn and usually some of the animals out there.
What do you see from your kitchen window?

I see my birdie friends in what I think is a seviceberry tree. I have a feeder and a suet cage. I have a tiny woodpecker that visits everyday. It's amazing how much joy those birds bring me. I was thinking of getting a hummingbird feeder. There are so many here! I have really big windows w/no curtains, and birds were hitting them, so I put stained glass things up. This attracted the hummingbirds. Somehow, they never hit the glass, it's almost like they are smarter than the other birds.

Another yucky brick house
As we live in the city
But, you know we are building our retirement home soon
I will be looking at mountains. on all sides of the house.
plus in the winter, a creek ; my husbands oldest brother's house
My hubby's brother that is next in line from him.( 5 boys in the family)
The re done farmhouse
I will be seeing wild life like deer, sometimes bob cats, maybe some black bears.
We have our kitchen / dinning room in the front of the house where the living room was to go.
We, hubby and I both wanted the large country kitchen/ dinning room on the front of the house.

I see our backyard with my laundry hanging on the line, a hedge, and our cattle on the other side eating the hedge! The barn is in the background behind them.
Here's somebody who found a hole in the fence, and wanted to try out a lilac bush!

I see a freshly cut hay field that has been raked into windrows. I can also smell the wonderful aroma of the hay. Today is a beautiful day in central Kentucky. The sky is clear, there is a gently breeze, the birds are singing and the rooster is crowing (he crows all day). This day couldn't be any better!!!!

I see a Rose of Sharon (my nemesis) but it's pretty and greening up nicely. It's the only one I've allowed to stay on that side of the house and it's monstrous!!! Other than that, the privacy fence behind it with the lattice work. Pretty view.

I think it is wonderful we can share our views of what we see and feel from one coast to another and even other countries.
Please, keep them coming. This is great!

| I love looking out my kitchen window - past the patio I see my new picket fence and the flowerbed that still needs to be filled in. Beyond the fence is our little barn. Usually the chickens are outside scratching in the dirt. We have lots of birds this time of year also and it's fun to watch them swooping around. |

Depending on how far I bend one way or the other, I can see the chicken coop and the garden (with my glasses on!), the brick patio with the plants and part of the clothes line! Now, like I said, that's depending on how energentic and limber I want to get bending one way or the other! LOL

I see our barn and Wendell the Wonder Horse! He's usually trying to find a way to eat the grass in our yard through the fence, because, of course, the grass is both greener AND tastier on the other side! Ha-ha!! Beyond him is our winter pasture, and up the hill beyond that is our late summer pasture and our ancient apple orchard that was planted by another farm family who came before us here.

Outside of my kitchen window is an old screen door attached to the side of the house, birdhouses, Jess's hose wreath that she sent me and the bedspring arbor, from which hangs my bird feeders. I can also see the side of my parent's house. Thank goodness it's not the side my dad suns himself on! That is something no one needs to see.

I see our hay field and the nieghbor's house, (but it's a fair distance away). Some days I see my pot bellied pig, "Opal," munching on the clover or sunning her fat pink self in the grass. I also see Sherman's kennel. (my husband's lab) Sometimes Opal comes over and teases him. It's pretty funny to watch. In the evenings I can see the sunset on the hills several miles away. It's just breathtaking!
Oh, and Karin, the comment about your dad? TOO FUNNY!!!! I almost fell out of my chair laughing! Yes, some things are never meant for human eyes to see. Like my husband's butt crack every time he bends over!! (HA! HA! HA!)~~~ Tracy |

We have a camilla bush outside the window, so I sometimes see humming birds.
The kitchen overlooks one field, so I can watch the crops grow and occasionally see hubby on the tractor , or chickens dust bathing.
I can also see whose coming down the road to visit |

I see our shade garden with hostas and bleeding hearts,primroses and right now violets and lily of the valley, also a beautiful plant my daughter got me for mothers day a feew years back it is white and green varigated with heart shaped leaves and tiny bright blue flowers. I see our large bird feeder and suet for the woodpeckers, usually packed with visitors, including our naughty but friendly squirrels. The bird bath is out there too. Plus all back ground trees and hedgerow that leads into our 6 acre field. Also our back deck and all the flower boxes and container gardens. I really enjoy it.

I see my long-way-to-go-before-it's-finished herb garden with 1 Rosa hazelnut, 1 Contorted hazelnut and a clump of aspen at the very end of it. Beyond that I can see a few of my flower beds in the front yard, Main St and the neighbor across the street who has nothing but dirt for their front yard and park their vehicles on it:(
When I finish bordering my herb garden with forsythia, I won't have to look at the street or the neighbor's icky yard anymore.

I love the chickens on your windowsill, Pam, and the view is great too. I see my garden shed, my old well which has a huge stone and then a big stone covering the hole and the small field that leads up to 40 acres of hayfield. I have a quaking aspen out back that I love to watch when I do dishes, there is something so soothing about the way the leaves quiver in the breeze . I can see the old wooden water tower in the big field and my old Dolgo crabapple/ It got pounded pretty badly in the last hurricane we had. It is just such a wonderful old tree. It is even sporting a few blossoms this year
How nice to look out a window and find a visiting cow. My neighbors had cows for years and the view out the front kitchen windows was always a big soggy field full of Holsteins, but now it is just a big field and evergreens in the back, hiding the giant pond out back of the farmhouse and barn.
I loved seeing the horses too, my neighbors on one side have lots of horses and goats, but I can't see much of their field from my house, the trees on the other side of my pond have really shot up.
Whoops, didn't mean to blather on and on,,,,,Karin

I love my kitchen window. Looking out it, I can compleatly forget that I am in town. First I look out at my little container garden on the porch and then over the rail to a tree lined creek bottom. I can sit there and watch birds and squirls and just generaly unwind.
What we write today slipped into our souls some other day when we were alone and doing nothing.

I see my vegetable garden and I get to watch it grow and grow. Picked strawberries today, yum yum. I can also see my dog's kennel. I want to do something to sparkle it up though. I also have a washtub outside the kitchen window that I have leaf lettuce and bush cucumbers growing in. Lettuce is just about ready for picking.
I want to say that I really love the photo of the horses. I think I would not mind having my kitchen look out on that!
