Windows for purpose


I love opening the windows and feeling – smelling – the fresh air as it rushes in. Even in this house, in front of a big park there is such a thing. Granted, we live in the middle  of the city and just outside of the green ccs.hau.so we’re not really part of the smog thing that old city Hisar  has long been known for. Out here in the great open space, the temperatures often remain cool even deep into the summer and so the windows remain open.
