    It`s 13:45 now. I am sitting in fron of my computer writting this post. It`s quite gloomy today. No sun only clouds. Possibly it`s going to rain soon. I am listening to music (soundtrack from "Game of the thrones"). I am smelling my tea. Now the sun has just came out. It`s becoming more and more warm and pleasant.

    is a sunny gringo
    wearing a harp
    and singing a rap

    actually outside my window is quiet few parked cars and trees of course. not an enchanting view by all means. the best views are on the other side of the house facing north.... I think

    but when it does it sigh
    it is just that

    Continuing description of what's outside my window

    Facing west to make the sunsets clear
    my window shows a heron standing there
    among wild ducks who also like the pond.
    The street could fill with cars that buzz along.
    The air is fresh. The sidewalk is a tease
    since anywhere I'd want to go I'd walk.
    There's concerts in the park downtown each week.
    Botanic gardens aren't that far away
    nor are the restaurants, stores or library.
    It's not their fault my mind won't stay awake.

I can hear nothing right now because it is late, but in the day you can hear people shouting and annoying kids. On the weekends you can hear electric mowers and jingly ice cream vans and sometimes, briefly thank heaven, 'gangsta rap,' as the dear fellow two doors down washes his car. I can smell the bin because of council cut-backs... It makes me feel that, although it is not the very worst place to live around here, that in a few years time our new house and surroundings might be more in-keeping with the manner in which we are accustomed to believe that we deserve, as members of the new rising middle classes, when we will then move next door to Mr and Mrs Jones and be able to appreciate their neat symmetrical hedge and regularly washed red BMW.
    Well Neely I do hope 'they' will pick up your bottles soon!

    That is to say if you don't like the views from your front window, you can easily change them!
    Good point! Just step outside your window and say what you see, hear and experience!

    Your Edale School and Village Hall is a very good post! Thanks for sharing.

    Sorry you had to work on the weekend....but some one must. I take it you work in a train yard? Hopefully you had Monday and Tuesday off for your weekend time. What do you see out of your window at home? what do you find when you step outside your front door?

    thanks for sharing.....

    Ahhhh Yes/No your window view sounds lavenous....take hold of it and go experience what it has to offer!! Day dreaming is rich but living it is richer.

    thank you very much for sharing.

    I can still see the outline of the greenbelt forest that runs through the creek.

    What do you hear?
    I hear the chorus of crickets or other such insects that rub legs and wings together.
    Ah...there, a squirrel scampering through the trees making it's way home for the night.
    The water in the creek tumbling over rocks.

    What do you smell?
    That smell that dogs emit for a few hours after they've been bathed. She was standing near me.

    And how does it make you feel?
    Just fine for a June evening in Texas.


    Gilliatt Gurgle,
    It sounds like a welcoming night....everything seems to fall in place...from the crack in the payment that you know you need to repair to the sounds of nature and the smell of a clean dog!! A Good Night in Texas!

    Thank you for sharing...

    Looking out my window....for the last two days there have been sheets of water falling from the skies thanks to the storm, Andrea. The rains have been very heavy, beating down my flower beds and veggies and causing flash floods. Andrea also brings a fresh smell but the humidity out weights it. I am hoping for a brighter day tomorrow to view out of my window.

    In Poland because of very heavy rains a lot of people even lost their houses but not in the part of the country where I live.
