Isn't it joyous to be able to open the windows again? I have been sleeping with one in my bedroom open for about a week and I adore waking up to birdsong. I like what I can see in this country kitchen. The marble backsplash and marble windowsill are nice with the wooden countertop. I have always wanted windows that open like this but everything has a trade off. I would have to move all the stuff I have on my kitchen sill before I could open them. via

So pretty.
We usually go from having the heat running to switching over within a week to having the air conditioning on. Even if that wasn't the case, I could never have a window open. Even in one of the nicest neighborhoods in this city (with 24 hour guards) it would be too dangerous.
It's a wonderful kitchen with that window looking out into the garden. I do sleep with my bedroom windows open this time of year when the weather is lovely, but I live in a two story house. Alarms are still activated downstairs. I love to hear the crickets, frogs and all nocturnal creatures. There are morning doves that call out. They have a very melodious call. I'm getting so I can identify some of the bird calls. This morning I saw an opossum on my back hill! I was astonished as I thought these timid, fearful creatures only came out at night. I'm blessed to live in a suburban area with lots of wildlife. One does have to watch out for coyotes if you have pets, though, and there are mountain lions that frequent the area too. I remember a time when we didn't even lock our doors! Those days are over forever, no matter where you live.
It would be fun to wash dishes in that sink as I looked out that window. I, too, love sleeping with a window open. I am able to go one step further. My bedroom opens onto a screened in porch. I sleep with the French doors open . Not only do I wake up to the birds , I also hear the river flowing by and sometimes early morning boaters. We are one of the few who live year round on a road of vacation homes. And - the owners seldom vacation! It's a quiet, beautiful place to live and I am very blessed to live here.
