It’s been so sunny and warm here the past few days that I’ve been able to open up the balcony doors during the afternoon to let some warm air and sunshine into casa az. This time of year it’s often warmer outside than inside at midday. And after having been cooped up without much fresh air for the past couple of months the cats are totally loving it, immediately going out to sit on the balcony and take in huge gulps of air … oh, the little darlings. In general they’re quite happy being house cats and can spend most of the year hanging out on the balconies to get some fresh air and even do a bit of serious sunbathing. But of course during the winter the balcony doors stay shut in order to keep the place at least somewhat warmish.

Anyhow, I’m loving it too, being able to sit here without wearing three sweaters and a scarf … it’s about 20º today, which for me is almost sandal weather. And so that pic up top is the view today from one of the living room balconies. The bedroom balcony view looks like this.

I feel so lucky to live here. 🙂
