So I’ve Been Thinking….
Today was a rather busy day. The kids were going to (only) have two friends over for dinner, then Mark was taking them to see the movie Prince Caspian. I hopped out of bed, took care of the Scottie boys, then made up some macaroni salad and three dozen chocolate chip cookies.
The boys came over at 2, so I had a break for awhile, then I began cooking dinner. As soon as everyone was finished, it was time to head on out the door for the movie. One of the boys asked if I didn’t like C.S. Lewis writings…to which I replied that it is nearly impossible for me to sit still long enough to watch a movie!
As I was enjoying my “alone time”, I suddenly had this wonderful brainstorm! I was looking at the many photos I took yesterday of the Cardinals….most all of my bird photos are taken through the windows. Sad, but true….So (here’s the brainstorm!) why not put a little balcony outside of the bedroom?
We could just replace the double windows with French doors…..
And add a nice little balcony. It needn’t be anything fancy. Heaven knows I just need a little space where I could sit very still and shoot away! The trees are located about 30 feet from the house, so my little balcony could get me even a tad closer to the birds!
Well, it certainly doesn’t cost anything to dream! Of course, if I got that balcony, there would probably be no way to get me to come inside!

Women thinking is not a good thing – especially when it means work for the menfolk!!!
I also want to replace the double windows in my dining room with french doors and put a small deck off the back of the house. I think it would greatly improve the resale value of the house and I would love a way to keep an eye on the kids while they are outside without having to actually go out myself! Ah, well, as you said, it doesn’t cost anything to dream…
