The View From My Window

 I came across a Facebook group with this title. It was started during the pandemic as a way for people to share where they are and what they see. Scrolling through this group shows people's views from all over the world. The stories that accompany the photos are just as interesting. One person showed the stairs from the apartment above them, not the most interesting view, but the story that went with it was about their upstairs neighbour who greeted them every day, and how they miss the neighbour who is in the hospital at the moment!

These are the views from my bedroom.

From the back window

I love seeing these azaleas in the morning. They are so bright and cheerful. I'm not a morning person; I don't wake up cheerful and happy to start the day, but opening my curtains to these beautiful flowers has really helped!

From the side window

From here I can see the mountains, so I say good morning to the mountain and ask that it doesn't fall on us!! Again, it's lovely to wake up and see all the green.  

I'm glad that my life is a bit slower than it used to be. I'm still busy, some days are crazy, but I'm getting more time to appreciate the things around me. It's still hard to be in this house, but I'm grateful to have a place to live.

This is the view when I walk into the kitchen/dining room in the morning!

On the table, moaning! I was late feeding them!!!

I've given up trying to keep them off! I use a lot of disinfectant!!

Today I had a close encounter with one of those hornets I was writing about yesterday! I was sitting on my bed, talking to a friend on the phone when I suddenly heard this buzzing sound. I turned and saw a massive hornet trying to get out of the window. I managed to open the window and send it out! I'm trying to figure how it got in! All the windows and doors are closed!!  Gave me a fright!!
