Windowseat weather

When the spring winds are blowing, it's just no fun to be outside. But I've got this windowseat in my bedroom, and sitting there is the next best thing.

I can watch for rabbits with Smooch...




and read a book...




and be surrounded by animals.










Makes me kind of glad the wind is blowing.

  2. Hi Linda: Such beautiful windows and light overlooking the georgous countryside. It's nice to take some time out just to slow down and enjoy the life of cats. Isn't that what we all need to do from time to time? Hats off and enjoy the weekend.

  4. That looks like the perfect place to enjoy a book. Especially with company.

  5. Yes, that was a nice--almost subliminal--plug for the book.

  7. I'm envious. Again. Damn.

    What a treat to sit there in your window seat with you. We don't get to see your indoor critters very often and they are adorable. Of course. That last shot is really lovely.

    BTW, I LOVE your floor. The colour wash is gorgeous. It would look good in my country cottage....

  10. Great day off, and I love the window seat! I can just imagine our critters (also 1 dog, 2 cats) enjoying one too :)

  11. OMG!!!!! You're reading the Wilder sisters!!! Jo-Ann Mapson!!! Do you not LOVE HER LOVE HER LOVE HER???
    Did you know she's moving back to NM? She may already be there... I correspond with her a few times a year, I just absolutely love everything she's written, Bad Girl Creek is obviously my fav (with the female farrier) The way she writes about women and relationships, she just nails it. She's top of my list of favorite writers. I want to be just like her. You simply must track her down in NM and do lunch. Seriously. (and invite me too)

    Oh I just love you that much more now that I know you read Jo-Ann Mapson. I give you a big hug from over this way :)

  13. Now Mikey has me curious to read that book "The Wilder Sisters!" ;)
    I love the picture of Smooch leaning up against the window. You can barely see the window and a little of her reflection!
    I envy your view! It looks so peaceful and relaxing.

  14. Mikey, there's a reason I'm re-reading The Wilder Sisters and all of Jo-Ann's other books. I don't want to blog about it 'til it happens though. Check your e-mail.

  15. Love it, love it.........hmmm, and I read about you reading an author's books. I can guess why...

    I look forward to the days in NM when I will be "forced" to play inside. So much to be done and you don't have the outside chores calling you and making you feel guilty!

  16. OK, my curiosity is peaked now about Jo-Ann Mapson, re-reading and a future blog? I've read most of her books, and thoroughly enjoy them and always recommend them to anyone who asks for reading suggestions. THE WILDER SISTERS I have not read though ... I'm off to Amazon.com!

  17. What a blissfully tranquil scene - just perfect, I can totally understand why you don't mind if the wind is blowing outside. And Smooch is the perfect model, as always :)

  18. That window seat looks like the perfect spot to sit back, relax, read a good book and hang out with the animals! I need one!

  19. Linda, what beautiful, peaceful scenes! I hear 'ya about the winds! We lost a huge branch of our Chinaberry here this week. Hubby will have to go out and saw it off! Fortunately it is very brittle wood!

  20. What a wonderful place to relax and read. Love your fur babies also. Have a blessed Sunday. Thanks for sharing. ^j^

  21. Wow...look what happens when I disappear for a while...your whole blog format changes! I'm typing right now in a box that is about 1/2 an inch wide. Makes proofreading challenging. :-)
    I love the shot of Smooch with his face leaning against the glass. That's quite a window seat the two of you have got! I've missed seeing you all. The new format takes forever to load on my laptop - maybe I need a faster, bigger, whizbangier machine?

  22. That's a nice place to sit and read.

  23. I envy you the window seat, how glorious to sit there with Smooch. My aussie would be sitting there with me, fershur. :)

    Very windy days are no fun to be working outside... we've done it when we absolutely had to, but we prefer to wait for a quieter day when our fencing or tools don't fly away from us!
