It Was Never Just About the Windows

Spanning three-quarters of the wall from floor to ceiling, there are two new windows facing east in our bedroom. They are the classic kind, double-hung, with six panes on the top. They open easily and wide, unlike the crank-out ones that had been stuck shut for years and years before we finally got around to replacing them. I like our new windows so much that I convinced my husband Ernie to move our bed to the opposite side of the room for a fresh look, a cozy fit for our new life, just us two. These days we sleep with three small windows just above the head of our bed and the two large ones to our right. In the months since we moved back into our home after the renovation, bedtime has become transformed.
