Will wishing do the trick

Feb 14, 2010 by Naomi.

When I stay in homes of my children I can sit indoors, watch the rain, (or sunshine) and enjoy the flora and fauna. That means there are windows or patio doors to look out of. In my home that is not so, except for the front window where I can watch traffic passing by. Well at least that’s action. How nice it would be to have a lookout into my backyard. Well I do have the screen door from which I can keep tabs on my wonderful trees and other flora as well as the fauna - neighborhood cats and my own squirrels. One scampered around the walnut tree this morning when I walked out as Richland’s 20% chance of rain sprinkled my glasses. The feisty rodent peeked around my walnut tree near the ground where it has nuts buried, until I spoke to it. Then it glided up the tree like a sting ray and galloped across branches into the pine trees in the shelter belt. What a wealth of scenery I can view through that narrow door! I would like a better view of the remainder of the yard. How could I have more window space? I do have a 5 by 3-foot window in the shed out back, just standing there desolate and lonely. It should be in one of the walls in my back porch (if that floor space qualifies as a porch) where I could have the extra viewing I wish for. OK. I will estimate the 2×4’s needed to install that window then contact my handyman, Douglas do-right in the Crocodile Dundee hat, to find out if he does installation. That will have to wait for a work day. Meanwhile I keep my fingers crossed, hoping wishes can come true.
