A bright future

I know we are all looking forward to restrictions being eased to brighten our lives.  I've brightened mine already,  I've cleaned the windows!


Not being a lover of housework this chore was at the very bottom of my isolation checklist, but it shouldn't have been because it is so much nicer to view the world through clean windows.

How about this, I have also planted some vegetable seeds to contribute to my brighter future. I was waiting for the drought to go away before trying veges again.


The jonquils have started to flower, and will do so over the coming months to brighten the dreary winter garden.



And a final bright spot, the sunsets are often spectacular at this time of year. The other day it was lovely through my shiny clean windows.

  4. Good for you! Clean windows and a growing garden!
    That is a spectacular sunset.
    I've pretty much jettisoned things on my to-do list in favor of my garden but I finished the last and hardest of that today (cleaning out the long-neglected greenhouse to welcome some tomato plants). I suppose now I should fire up the list again and get to some of my own windows, too.

    1. Your garden will be powering along just as mine is shutting down. A greenhouse - doesn't that mean more windows to clean?

  5. Wow, I'm impressed....clean windows! LOL! Mine still have marks from the painters when they were putting putty on the windows and, as the back of the house if quite high, there is no way I can reach them. I might have to hire someone to do them all at some stage but they will have to unscrew the security screens we had installed which I didn't realise were so hard to remove for cleaning. I love your sunset. How wonderful to have such a clear view of it.

  6. I hate cleaning the windows. Still cold here.
    Hubby said, don' t, it will only get cold inside.
    OK. When Hubby says so, I listen, of course ;-)

    When frost is over I'll plant, too. Weird, weird weather...

    1. When I think of Germany and Holland I think of shiny clean windows with lace curtains. Clean windows seemed to me to be a national obsession ... I don't think I would survive as a German housewife.

    1. I am obsessed with the sunsets from the vantage point offered by this home. Nearly every day I go to look at sunset.

  8. It's a shame the job of cleaning windows is such a chore, because the reward of looking through clean glass is just wonderful. hankfully my husband has just cleaned ours. I took on the chore of giving both our cars a thorough clean, inside and out. Not that they are travelling very far, but the dust still gathers.
    We are back to very dry again here, so I am reluctant to plant too much. Love your sunset.

    1. Cleaning the cars ... now that is a chore that should be on my list. At this time of year Burnbrae garden dumps heaps and heaps of yellow pollen from the pine trees that line the front of the property.

  9. My windows are very dirty and certainly need cleaning. However, it is not an easy job to do as at the back they are up high and cannot be reached unless on a ladder and that is far too dangerous! I think I will have to employ someone to come and do them for me.
