I can always tell when Ashlan is home because the shade in the upstairs bathroom gets pulled down. I leave it up to let the natural light in and enjoy some outdoors. Mom often mentions how people note that they don’t even have curtains on the living room windows on Glenwood, and of course the cabin is curtainless. Always looking to bring the outdoors in. Anyway, when Ashlan is home, she always pulls the shade down, despite the fact that nobody could see in, unless they were on a ladder against the house. And I always put it back up. Repeat.
Well, the trees came down yesterday, and now the upstairs bathroom has a clear view of two realtively close houses. I was actually struck by how much the view reminds me of the view when we first moved into the house 14 years ago. So – Ashlan, maybe there won’t be so much up and down going on. Although I still like the light, so maybe …
The tree cutters left a fair amount of wood on the front lawn. Part of the price was that they got the wood. We have had several people ask if they can take the wood. I may have to call the tree people to see if they want it or if I should let it go. [Things are often put out on the curb for free removal in our neighborhood, and they usually get picked up within a day.]

Perhaps a lace curtain or shade would break up the view from the outside in, but still let light and some view into the inside.
