This Monday is the first anniversary of Fun Monday. In honor of that, Vicki at Catch the Light is our host, since, because she was nosy, she started all this Monday Funness one year ago. Today, like last year, she would like to see the view from our front doors – or a repost of the Fun Monday post from last year in which she had the same request. I hadn’t joined yet last year so here is what I see from my front door today.

It is a little dark, but I wanted to catch the view as the sun was coming up, since the sunrises, which can be seen from three separate windows in my house, are what ultimately endeared us to this place. The house faces North, but the front door faces East. Our Front Door is a full, clear-glass front door, with a full, clear-glass storm door. A lovely window on our little corner of the world… but windows have a way of going both ways! Because of that, I was glad this week’s picture WAS NOT What People See When They Come To Your Door. Initially, we planned to replace the front door immediately with something that would limit the outside world’s view of us as we darted down the hall, or up the stairs in our various stages of morning undress. But as time went by, and each new day’s sunrise greeted us with a different array of pink, or violet, or light streaked clouds, our opinion of the glass doors softened – and we learned to wear robes, and pants.
