Windows to my Heart


"Set wide the window. Let me drink the day."

Edith Wharton


"Let there be many windows to your soul,
that all the glory of the world
may beautify it."

Ella Wheeler Wilcox


"A house without books is like a room 
without windows."

Horace Mann


"Your assumptions are your windows on the world. 
Scrub them off every once in a while,
or the light won't come in."

Alan Alda


"Happiness is the biggest window
a house can ever have."

Mehmet Murat ildan

    Love all the quotes on here today, Karen, especially "let there be many windows to your soul." Those red flowers look so pretty on your window ledge. I always open the drapes in my house to let the sunlight in, but the men here tend to close the blinds and drapes - like it dark and cozy when watching their tv hahaha.

    Have a nice weekend, Karen.

    Dear Karen, interesting blog topic! I also love windows and prefer to live in houses with many of them to let as much light in as possible. Your living room looks particularly cozy and the view from there into nature is magnificent.
    Warm regards,
    Christina
