The house across the street. The neighbor’s convertible Mustang. Oregano, sage and cayenne pepper plants right outside the window.

That’s what I’m seeing now, too. At least ours might change to snow by evening. 🙂

At home now. I’m sitting diagonal to the balcony window that’s above the air conditioner. There is an orange cat on some storage bins by the window. I can clearly see one balcony from here; sometimes the neighbors step out to have a smoke. Iron balcony bars/railings, painted green. The rest of the apartment building is brick, built before 1920.

If I look out my bedroom window I can see the back of a building someone’s renovating. We’ve noticed baby trees in pots sitting in the small green space between their parking lot and ours. Could it be… We are actually getting more trees in the neighborhood?! Score!

And the award for most boring entry goes to… :smack:

The Pentland Hills, south of Edinburgh. Covered in scotch mist - it’s just stopped raining.
