    Just one there are only two and I am on the top floor. I can really only see half of the office from here so I can see Janelle, Mark, Marlyn, Sandy, Helen, Darrin and Linda.

    Two evergreens have boughs that are swaying to a light wind and there is frost trying to come in the bottom edge of the window (my window in the frontroom is almost a wall in itself (about ten feet wide by seven feet tall) ... somethin' like that.
    Love all the detail... it put me back into my childhood in the snowbelt. Where I reside now is rather...hot

    Winter in the woods is one of my favorite things. Thanks for the images.

    Why thank you! It's amazing how much you can learn from folks by asking a simple question. I have another like thread simmering in the back of my mind. It's going to be scary I think

    Have you ever dropped anything on them?

    Looking out my bedroom window, I see an oak tree. It's bare except for one or two dead leaves. It's dripping wet because it's raining; there's beads of water on some of the branches.

    Hi SkullFarmer,
    I did grow some herbs once, but my mom is really fond of gardening.

    Living room window

    I see my back garden, then a link fence, then an apartment parking lot, with a corner of the apartment in it. Then I see one of the cities main roads, then a forest owned by the University.
    Naked except for a cigarette, you let your mind drift and forget your disbelief. Feel the chill down your back and the flutter of wings through dandelion fields, and forget the pull of gravity in a night without stars.

    I lack eloquence and commitment to my arguments. They are half baked, and I will begin passionately, and then abandon them.

    Did the leaves fall off yet?

    Well, now I HAVE to ask... what kind of herbs? Basil? Mint?

    ... parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme...??

    So you must live in a 'college' town? Are the apartments occupied by many students?

    Are you the gardener? If so, what does your garden grow?

    Nice question, I grew mint and parsley and I often make delicious spicy chutney.

    My apartment is a one-window affair. The view is pretty much pitch black at this point (here in Sweden it's 1am), but the first thing I can see is a set of window 'candle' lights in a house near my apartment block. In this house lives a really cool cat, who my girlfriend and I have christened 'Butt Cat', as he/she has a tendency to stroll up to us, get rubbed and petted (we are cat freaks), before turning around, taking a few steps and then raising its tail, giving us a view which explains the name.

    I actually haven't seen Butt Cat in weeks; seems to hibernate for the winter. I'm going back home to Ireland for Christmas in a week though, so I really hope I meet him/her again soon.

    I have been tempted to but I have managed to keep myself in check so far. Now the thought of doing that will be with me all day
