Hallelujah! The windows are open! Let’s just take a moment to breathe in the fresh air. I realize that the air here in the suburbs may me a little fresher than it is for those of you who live in the more urban areas but to be fair I live in New Jersey and the air quality in the “Garden State” is sometimes less than perfect. Still, I love being able to turn off the heat and fully enjoy the indoor/out door lifestyle.
Hubby is a winter guy. He melts in the heat so each year we have a running argument about opening windows. Usually, as soon as I get up, all the sashes go up. He tells me I’m “letting in the heat. I tell him I’m “letting out the stuffiness.” Depending on how high the temperature goes that day, I usually get my way.
Seriously, though, there is something truly rejuvenating about a spring breeze, the sound of birds and the smell of the hyacinths. Ahh! Rejoice! The cold dark claustrophobic winter has finally ended! Breathe deeply, my friends!

What a great topic for the letter F. I love when the windows are open, especially at night with a cool breeze.
I’m able to open the windows every day. And, leave them open until it gets too cold. I don’t think I could ever go back to living in a place where I can’t have open windows– even a crack — all the time.

I’m so jealous! My sister-in-law is from Southern California and she talks about living with no screens and wide open windows. Thank you for stopping by.
Such lovely tulips! We had a taste of spring, but it ran away, at least for a few days.That’s the thing about Chicago, we never know what weather we’re going to get.
It ran away here in New Jersey too but we are ever hopeful!!
It’s the right season for it 🙂
