Who knew all this would happen afterwards! The view out my window Oct. 30, 2024. They all fall down...autumn leaves decided last night it was time to let go!

Why I sit looking out windows

 I like how the clouds bringing rain always come from over the ridge to the south.

The rain had fallen for a while, so a blue sky was visible for a few minutes, and an unusual swath of sunshine on the far side of the valley...but not to last!


Below is my panoramic shot from the iPhone...it squeezes the apartment building pretty badly, but there are all the trees and mountains I see daily...with a bit of reflection from the window of my kitchen light across the tree on the right end.

I can read emails, make comments on blogs, and occasionally get up and take a photo through the window. As you may have noticed, very few of our residents go out. I was surprised at that. Or maybe I'm looking at the screen when they do go down the long walkways.  Of course a few minutes after taking these photos, I got up and went to do my physical therapy exercises on the floor. They are helping so much, but getting back up from the floor is still one of the hardest moves to do! (And no, I shant be sharing any photos of me there!)

  1. ...perhaps when the weather gets better, people will be out and about more.

    1. Ha ha, I got it underlined by spell check, but decided to say it anyway. There are days when new/old words just make most sense.

  3. Lots of people dom't like to be out in the rain and some don't like walking. I have to be out and about, not all the time but most of the time.

    1. Good for you. I tend to do whatever is needed in the rain, but it's not much!
