This isn't the view from the window. Gorgeous, though, isn't it?
It's a busy day here in Reya's inner sanctum at the house on Tennessee Avenue. My new windows have been installed, and they are beautiful! I don't always notice details like doors or windows, so I'm surprised, and frankly thrilled, to see how much better my room looks with the new portals. The trees, the beautiful architecture, and in particular the sparkling blue sky, is framed so much more beautifully by these new windows. Wow.
In celebration I am in the midst of a serious cleaning frenzy (the installation process left behind a thick layer of dust on everything in my room). I've also decided to re-arrange all my furniture so as to showcase the new windows and door.
I still need to paint the framing, then I'll post pics of the deluxe new casement windows. Once the warmer days arrive, it will be such a pleasure to open my new windows and let the breezes blow through. Oh yeah.

Blue Skys are so soothing. They make me happy. Hopeful. What a beautiful shade and so clean.
I just showed my dogs your sign "wag more bark less" hoping that it will have an impact on them.
Love it!
We have blue skies here as well but it's so COLD!
It's cold here, too, Lynne. The windows are closed tight!
Wag More, Bark Less-- words to live by-- thanks!
A metaphor: new windows
new view
cleaning
spring
a new beginning?
ps. I love the artistically arranged dogs....
I have that sticker on my car!!! Love it!
I look forward to seeing your new windows, Reya - and to getting some of that blue sky up here!
Seems as many of us are in the midst of spring changes. Cleaning, demolition, new tile, new paint, oh yeah... how fun!
Enjoy!

When you talk about the new windows and the renewed view through them, I see them as frames of the everchanging artwork on the other side of them.
Yes! Wag more! I love it. Enjoy the new portals in your life. So symbolic.
*wagging tail madly*
I wonder why being sad is called 'Blue'? Blue is a hue for happiness, surely?
I also showed my 3 dogs the Wag More Bark Less. 2 of them barked at it.
Debra? LOL!!
I wrote a much longer comment addressing many things ya'll said, but blogger has swallowed it, and for the life of me I can not recreate.
The three dogs are fabulous, Reya! Can you please make this a regular feature?
I love that patch of blue, too. Nothing lifts my spirits like a blue sky, although I try to love the damp, overcast days as well.
5 o'clock and now the sun comes out? Oh well, it's still early spring. New windows are fun, hopefully you can keep them open for a couple weeks before it hits 90.
I have love remodeling. We are always in a continual process. Have been for over 30 years. There is something pleasurable about cleaning up after a project. It is hard to face the mess somtimes, but there is a certain power and creativity that comes with being the clean-up crew. Kind of like being the clean-up batter on a baseball team. You have the chance to make the game come out the way you want it.
Looking at the blue sky pic was interesting. The mind plays tricks and I started seeing different images in the sky. Wow. So Timothy Leary. The "adoreables" are just that. "Wag more. Bark less." My husband tells me that frequently, right after "roll over."
Loved your comment on my post today. About that separated at birth thing? I left you a response there. I feel the same way. Happy dusting!
Oh Happy days...
you can just breathe that beautiful blue sky in....
Nothing like a little home improvement to spur the cleaning and rearranging bugs. How lovely! I hope I get to see the windows on my pass through Washington, DC in a few months! :)
Dennis loves windows.
There's always a show when one looks up, but I've got to say, that is the sky I love the most.
Must have windows that open! I replaced two sets of four windows in our house in Portland because they didn't open. I mean, what's the point of having them if you can't smell the earth when it warms up?
New windows on your world ... how perfect is that ?! Enjoy
It's very cool how there's a theme of gratitude moving through the blogs I read. Very cool!
Congrats on your new view! Your kind comments have not gone on deaf ears, thank you for taking the time to leave them. Through your words I am discovering parts of myself never noticed.
We have blue skies about 360 days a year.
whooooppppppppppeeeeeeeeeee! one hellova big blue sky....! how uplifting...! now. don;t let it distract you from your african rain making provocations please... xxxx j
Lovely to see your blue skies - ours have also finally turned blue, no more grey cloudiness! Wag more, bark less, is a fantastic outlook on life! The 3 dogs on the sidebar are truly adorable
Right. Blogger ate your homework. Miss Mellicker, go sit in the corner.
I am a window fanatic and love to have the panes clean and sparkling. I also love having windows open as much as weather will allow.
It's funny about other bloggers writing about gratitude, and here I am about to write about Marlon Brando playing a crucified Nazi and why actors should act and otherwise shut their yaps.
I just saw the same bumper sticker on my way home from work. How timely! I love it.
i just saw a car with this same bark/wag sticker for the first time yesterday!! what does it mean???
