Dalyn - okay you win!!!!! I was going to say how I have been watching the cardinal nest, and the four babe birds who are trying to flee the nest. But when I saw your view - well......forget the birdies!!!!

I'm with you Jeannie (Hi) I like many of these views,but Dalyn's is the tops. My sink is on an inside wall :( Must have been a Man who desingned it.) I do have a good view from the dinning area. Our double window looks out to the side yard with lots of trees and birds. There is a stool at this window as my Polly (cat) loves to lay here in the sun. There are also French doors out onto the deck and screen room DH built for me. It looks out to the bird feeder and the woods. It beckons to me to come out onto the swing.

I see 2 acres of the greenest grass I have ever seen, with kids' toys scattered here and there...but if you look to the left, I see my in-laws....so, back to the right my eyes divert....
Dirt under my nails and weeds in my hair...don't tell me I can't dress up with flair! |

My kitchen window....As look out my window, I see fresh cut green grass with the wonderful lines it in that go up and down and back in forth in a playful pattern. I see a weather worn picket fence sprinkled with roses bushes sporting pale pink, fire orange, and red rosebuds. Straight ahead beyond that stars and stripe flag is the clothesline with fresh laundry swaying in the breeze. The childrens' toys dot the yard like polka dots on a 50s patterned. apron. A lone red, almost black rose stands stately to one side surrounded by crisp newly laid mulch. The childrens swing set is to my right just waiting to be played on....(Later the kiddos will be swinging to their hearts content!)
Well, so...um...that's my kitchen window...:) Sorry kinda long winded..its a big back yard that I see.:)
hugs

First I see the hammock underneath an arbor covered in silver lace vine...beyond that corn fields and neighboring farms. The farm directly south of us has several big red barns and horses.
When we were building our house we came out & stood on the rise and figured out which angle would give us the best views. Because of that our house sits kattywhompus and doesn't face the road.
I will sing at the top of my lungs, and I will dance even if I'm the only one...

| I love opening the curtain in the morning at my kitchen sink and I look out onto my "gravel" patio, and beyond that my clothes line, and lillys, butterfly bushes, bird feeders, and the playground where my 5 daycare childen come to play! I love every minute of my quiet time in front of my kitchen window! |

I love hearing what others see. We have our back yard and across the way is the neighbor's yard. However, I'm working on doing some more floral landscape in the backyard. We also have our patio out the window by our kitchen table. I need to put some bird feeders out there to attract some friendly birdies. :)

Ack!!! All I see from my kitchen window is a computer desk!!! My dh moved his business to the farm last year, and while he's building the shop, he's stored all his office JUNK on my glassed in front porch! And, as sometimes men just CAN'T get it, they stuck the huge monstrosity of the computer desk right in front of my window, so now I can't see out. I used to see our front pasture, all kinds of beautiful birds and the cows as they moseyed up to the shade of the pecan trees. I've had enough, so I'm gently persuading dh to hurry up with the shop, so I can see again!!!

I see our waterfall falling into the pond, bird feeders hanging from the snowball tree(that is bloom right now) and the deck. looking farther out the doves are flying back and forth in thier pen, at the side of them are the chickens pecking around in thier pen, eating whatever crawls into thier chicken yard. to th right of the window I see my Yurt studio and greenhouse next to that, with the barn in the background.
Theres a path going to the yurt from the back yard with a arch over it with honeysuckle just starting to bloom. I have a big garden window so ya can see alot.

| Right this very minute I am watching my Amish neighbors plant tobacco. It's quite a process and he only uses two horses for this. It's quite a site to see. Susan |

I see a red mandevilla vine that is in my window box and the garden that runs along my drive that has a birdfeeder in it. I also see our swing. It reminds me each time I look out the window, the cushions need cleaning.

here is a pic of one of my kitchen windows, with my visiting cardinal buddy. he comes several times a day and has been for a while. he fusses if the feeder is empty and just generally lets me know he is checkin us out.
i think he is funny and now he is just a part of the farm world here.
