It was a gorgeous, blue sky summer day. I tackled the rest of the south eastern tangle of streets and as I walked past all those beautiful apartments, with amazing views of the city, or of the mountains and all those amazing decks with flowering pots and upside down tomato plants it made me angry that I saw absolutely not a soul out enjoying those decks!
Now, this is coming from someone who dwells in an apartment with no balcony who dreams of having her morning cup of coffee outside on such a deck. To see so many empty decks makes me want to scream. Why do those people deserve a deck and me, who would use it every day, practically living outside does not! I think it should be a city mandate, if you have a deck and you are home and its more than 60 degrees you should be required to use your deck for no less than 1 hour per day. Who is in!? Lets get it passed!
On the rave side of the walk. I love it when people feel safe enough to leave their doors open on a gorgeous day. It makes me think that the entire world is not paranoid and living in fear. Call me old fashioned but I love to see neighborhood kids playing in the streets and people lounging around their house with doors open to the world.
This was the perfect house with door open that I love to see, complete with an American flag, feels like we are in the 1930's in middle America! Warms my heart!_______________________________________________________
On a side note, came across one of the few Queen Anne staircases that has fallen into private hands. Its gorgeous, isn't it!? It is now an entrance to a law office.
