My View

I love the view out of my kitchen window!  It was a HUGE selling point.  It is one of the many reasons I fell in love with this home.  The sunrise most mornings is STUNNING, and on many nights the sunset is fantastic too!  While doing the dishes, I love to look out at watch the clouds.  In the spring and summer, I watch the hills turn green.  In the fall, it's fun to watch for the different patches of colors change.  

At one point, I thought about taking a picture out my window everyday at the same time, just to document how beautiful it is, but I quickly found out I'm not home at the same time everyday very often (well at lease when the sun is up).  

I'm afraid I might be losing my view and it's making me crazy.  The lot next to us is vacant, and is bank owned.  The bank has had it for sale for a couple of years now, but very few people have looked into.  It's kind of a goofy lot, and someone is going to have be creative to get a decent house/yard onto it.  The last couple of weeks a cute couple has been stalking the lot, and a few others on our street as well, but the other day they were spotted measuring things out, and there are stakes in a few spots.  While I'm happy to welcome new neighbors, and happy that the weeds will go away, it is kind of sad to think about losing the view, and the extra playground for the kids.  Do you think they would listen to my very specific requests/demands of how I think they should place their house and yard and driveway???  

Anyways....just for fun, here are a few photos I've snapped in the last months.  

 Well alright, not all of theses were taken outside my kitchen window, but I LOVE amazing sunsets!  So I shared!
