Looking Out the Window

Published by dwsmith at 9:46 pm under Misc

I have a wonderful office. It is a full building, where my writing office is the entire upstairs with a fantastic view of the Pacific Ocean. Downstairs is a kitchen, living room, and Kris and my business office. It is where we do all of our e-mail and I play on eBay. Kris has her own building as her office and we live in yet another building here in the compound.

Yeah, it doesn’t get any better. <g> See why we don’t travel much?

I am sitting at my downstairs e-mail computer now in our business area. A few days back, on one of the nice days, I turned and stared out the window at the yard after finishing up on some business. I just sat and stared, marveling at how beautiful it was with the flowers and the ocean beyond. So instead of turning back to this computer, I got up and took a picture.

So, here is a picture of what it looks like out the window from this computer.

Cheers, Dean

    One vivid memory of visits to Portland and Seattle–the flowering shrubs and trees.

    It’s a lovely, lovely view.

    probably look even better out the 2nd story window with a bit more ocean….. — do you have one on the 2nd floor or did you cover it up with another white board?

    That picture is sure an incentive to write.

    Meanwhile, I thought only us Italians lived in “compounds.”

    Beautiful view, Dean! I like the garden with the ocean behind it. I am afraid if that was the view from my writing room, I’d never get any writing done. So I have a lair in the basement, LOL. But Lake Michigan is a ten minute walk from our house and I can always take my laptop down to the boat, plug it in on board, and try to work while the boat gently rocks…and occassionally puts me to sleep.

    I have view envy. I live in Montana and it’s pretty, but I love the ocean. One of these days we plan to migrate to Oregon, but I don’t think it will be on the coast. Maybe near the Columbia? Hmmm . . .
