We just have a few, and they're all curse words.<BR/><BR/>TC,<BR/>I prefer the green too. I don't have much of a say in it, if I choose to live here.

But it is 50 years old and was planted by the folks who built our house. And my husband has spent years pruning it into a gorgeous shape. Winter is its season! But I am training a sweet autumn clematis to grow into it, hoping to clothe its summer nakedness.LINDA from Each Little Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02380944603357066650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877590965251014222.post-49194841910285495872009-02-05T08:02:00.000-05:002009-02-05T08:02:00.000-05:00Your season comparisons -- great way to show the d...Your season comparisons -- great way to show the difference!<BR/><BR/>CameronF Cameronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558874651743241988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877590965251014222.post-62657500593901976692009-02-04T12:52:00.000-05:002009-02-04T12:52:00.000-05:00Ms.WisThank you.

The rest of the time it looks like it's slowly committing suicide. <BR/><BR/>Pam,<BR/>I may try it - not once a week, but maybe the beginning of each month. It'd be a good experiment.<BR/><BR/>jodi,<BR/>I do enjoy the seasons of where we live. Although if we completely cut out February, I'd not miss it.<BR/><BR/>nancybond,<BR/>The new windows actually have more glass area, making rooms brighter. The old heavy wood-framed windows had a lot of bulk. And we can clean these from inside - no more ladders! We may actually take the time to clean them!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877590965251014222.post-91545767795895575032009-02-04T11:25:00.000-05:002009-02-04T11:25:00.000-05:00I, too, like the contrast between warm and cold we...I, too, like the contrast between warm and cold weather photos!

Pick one window from your house and take a photograph out of it once a week. Come back next year and post all of your photographs in order! And look at the metamorphosis of the seasons!Pam Kerstinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10180448328445549120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3877590965251014222.post-30391689817558855932009-02-04T08:51:00.000-05:002009-02-04T08:51:00.000-05:00We have a similar view out the window over our kit...We have a similar view out the window over our kitchen sink — a pink crabapple that blooms every other year. We also have a birch grove planted specifically for window views (you can read about it on today's post). We spent a lot of time on our back fence since we can see if from the living room where we sit. My husband spent three years building it and it looks beautiful in winter. But, you're right — I'm more than ready for green! Your play area with the bright blue is wonderful. You are such a creative designer and seem to have so much packed into a small space. I'm always impressed.LINDA from Each Little Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02380944603357066650noreply@blogger.com
