Out the Front Window: June 2014

http://www.outthefrontwindow.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Out the Front Window. Sunday, June 15, 2014. Not having had the experience of being one there's a bit of a void in my life. However the years I spent as a teacher make up for some of that. Buried somewhere in the archives here is something I wrote to my Dad a few years back. thought I'd re-post it today. I miss you Dad! I miss your calloused hands that held mine and led me along life’s path,. Your arms that pulled me close to share your strength,. The sound of your laughter that would fill the room,.

Out the Front Window: First Spring Storm

http://www.outthefrontwindow.com/2015/04/first-spring-storm.html

Out the Front Window. Wednesday, April 8, 2015. The loving sounds of spring's first storm rumbling through the darkness out the front window tonight, matched with the few jagged streaks of light,. A cooling breeze rising in intensity and the unmistakable aroma of the pending rainfall slipping in the open window. Not silent and ghostly like winter snow,. This spring storm steps boldly out into the night with rising crescendos,. Soon to be matched by the clatter of the rain,. Stay for a time,. Monday follo...

Out the Front Window: November 2014

http://www.outthefrontwindow.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

Out the Front Window. Saturday, November 22, 2014. I know too well the darkness that I see and feel. I know the comfort that it brings to me. The isolation, the loneliness that seals me away. Yet I long for the sunshine, its brilliance and warmth. Its energy that I lack. Dare I step from the shadows into the light? So many things to be done along that path. Can I, do I have the strength to see them done. Would someone reach out, no, it is mine. My track to take, my footprints to make. Links to this post.

Out the Front Window. Thursday, December 27, 2012. Run away… only to return… this time…. Links to this post. Wednesday, December 12, 2012. Beginning to look a lot like Christmas? Not from my point of view. yes the tree is up and decorated and various Christmasy dust collectors have been scattered around the house. the neighborhood houses have their lights strung and lit - emitting glorious colors from trees n eves n roof tops. Seasonal cookies and cakes n candies galore fill dishes and bowls and trays.

Out the Front Window: December 2011

Out the Front Window. Thursday, December 29, 2011. The rush of the wind engulfs the house, window panes rattle as the invisible assault grows stronger. The last few remnants of summer are sent swirling from now barren branches through the cold air. Ominous shadows of sharp slender fingers dance across the ground beneath the street light as tree limbs tremble in the gusts. Leaves and branches clatter over the roof in the darkness adding to the anxiety of the night. Links to this post. Out the front window.

Out the Front Window: April 2012

Out the Front Window. Monday, April 30, 2012. Money doesn't grow on trees you know. If I talked to my mother like you talk to me. Always wear clean underwear; you never know what might happen. Be careful or you'll put your eye out. What if everyone jumped off a cliff? Would you do it, too? You have enough dirt behind those ears to grow potatoes! Were you born in a barn? If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. Don't put that in your mouth; you don't know where it's been! Honestly,You'd...

Out the Front Window: January 2012

http://www.outthefrontwindow.com/2012_01_01_archive.html

Out the Front Window. Friday, January 27, 2012. I have spent hours searching out the front window for the usual door to door pitch, but none have come my way. So I have put myself in the hands of a couple of parents at work who are dealing the desserty delights for their daughters. I have searched the web and not found an explanation. Were they there last year? I’m afraid I couldn’t tell you. Fortunately the noted ingredient is no longer in use; however it has served its purpose well as many thousands ha...

Out the Front Window: February 2012

http://www.outthefrontwindow.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

Out the Front Window. Tuesday, February 14, 2012. I've been trying to figure out what "it" is about you that has me so enthralled, so captivated in such a short period of time. I have a mental list about a mile long of things about you, that you do, that you are. I finally decided what it is. "It" is not one thing or two things."it" is YOU! It's not a list of many attributes - it's the sum of all of them put together. You excite me whenever I see you! Time you share them with me. You have a sparkle,.

Out the Front Window. Sunday, June 17, 2012. I miss you Dad! I miss you Dad! I miss your calloused hands that held mine and led me along life’s path,. Your arms that pulled me close to share your strength,. That sideways glance that said, “I’m here if you need me.”. I miss the smell of your after shave in the bathroom each morning,. That smack on the back of the head that said you screwed up – but its okay,. The sound of your laughter that would fill the room,. When you shared your fears with me,. Just a...
