Your comment is SO funny and interesting that it’s gotten me to thinking about how funny and so much alike all you guys are (I’m thinking of you & Tom, in particular). So much so, that I now have a whole post started for next time that I’m writing in response to your comment here.

So, you MUST join us here next time to see yourself (& Tom & whichever other of you guys might think the shoe fits) featured.

Cheers!!

I choked on laughter when I read Greg’s comment.

My kitchen window faces east. I can’t actually see the sunrise because houses and trees obstruct the view, but I can see the sun as it rises high enough to shine through the trees, and it’s very pleasant. I see a wooden fence dividing our property from the neighbor’s, and squirrels run up and down that fence, flipping their tails and making me laugh. And I see our neighbor’s house and think of Miss Rubye.

If I turn my back to the sink, I’m looking across the kitchen to a sliding glass door. That, too, is most often blocked by blinds because in the afternoon the sun shines right in and heats up the kitchen. (Hmmm, that being the case, I suppose our house faces somewhat east?) When I do look at that door, I see grass that needs mowing or Chipper looking in to see when I’m going to come out and play.

Years ago, when I was a kid, I was standing at the kitchen sink in our house in Orlando, FL and looked out the window (it was dark, sort of late in the evening) to see a man’s face looking back at me. Scared the bejeebers out of me. I’ve been too traumatized since then to actually do dishes, so it worked out to my advantage!

It’s a beautiful setting and we often see deer right in our back yard and many beautiful birds. We have bird feeders everywhere. We are both huge tree and bird lovers.

I love having a view from the kitchen sink as I too spend a lot of time there. Enjoyed your post and the memories.
