the weather this past weekend was so pretty. and so the first thing i did when tripp and i got back from our adventure was open the windows in our upstairs bedroom. no sooner had i come back into our bedroom…
looks like we weren’t the only ones who had been feeling a little cooped up.
this was pumpkin’s perch for the rest of the afternoon.
she kept watch over the neighborhood and the cardinal that was in our front yard.
i have to say it was glorious to have windows open. and i can tell that we have kind of turned the corner on winter so to speak.…the days are ever so slowly getting a little bit longer. the birds are singing in the early morning again. i saw a couple of honey bees today.
i know there is more winter yet to come. but i am so grateful for this brief reprieve.
love, kelly

Gorgeous images! I love the last image of an open window with the light streaming though – beautiful. Wonderful cat images too – what a beauty {lovely green eyes!}
Stacey says
I am living vicariously through your open windows as snow falls outside. Thank you as always for sharing these gorgeous images!
Beverly says
So cute to see the kitty outside enjoying the fresh air. Having the window open, I hope, will happen here tomorrow. Love your bottom window image!!
Barbara Hurst says
fun how you got her enjoying the light, beauty at it’s best.
Judy says
I too will have to live vicariously through you. This weekend we didn’t make it past 20 and are buried under almost 20 inches of snow. Tomorrow is supposed to be 45 and we are all giddy with that idea. But window opening weather – well that is still a long way away.

Smiling from ear to ear – last last shot of Pumpkin is so great – well they all are. So glad you got a reprieve, you all deserve it. I’ve been loving listening to the birds singing “hallelujah” …. yesterday it was nearly 80 here, and I’m not quite ready for those temps just yet!! 😉
Carrie says
love it!! Those are the most refreshing and energizing days!!! 🙂

Love the images of pumpkin in the window . . . I long for the promise of spring.
Sylvia says
Pumpkin is so cute, Kelly !

Lovely photos! The last one of the open window is my favorite – I think I can smell the spring air 🙂
Cathy H. says
Beautiful sunny day!! We enjoyed the fresh air, too. It’s been in the 70’s the last two days!
Sharon says
Pumpkin is certainly photogenic. I like the shot of Pumpkin walking toward the camera. It’s hard to photograph cats because they don’t often “pose.” By the time I grab my camera, my cats are usually on the move and I don’t get the shot I’d like. Lovely light photos!
Prairie Jill says
Ah, yes – a breath of fresh air indeed! Lovely shots. I think the last one is my favourite. Makes me long for spring!
Ida says
It’s starting to warm up here as well. I have opened the window a little now just for some fresh air. Your Pumpkin kitty is really pretty and seemed to be enjoying her time outside.

There is nothing like the first fresh air of spring! I fear we are still a couple of months away from that in Chicago!
