Or perhaps, just out of view is a bird feeder and she has just noticed a family of cardnials frolicing among the branches. I find mysself doing that often, watching the birds out my kitchen window!<br /><br />Hope you are having a wonderful time with all of your children home! I am sure that it must be lively!<br /><br />Have a wonderful week!Elizabeth@ Pine Cones and Acornshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044933540074342177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-50496648568202001902011-08-08T14:28:38.449-04:002011-08-08T14:28:38.449-04:00That is such a lovely picture Jeanne.

Great suggestions here! I have two schools of thought. One is that she is appreciating a quiet morning and looking out to a majestic view. The other, is that she is watching her teenage daughter, with a boy, sneaking a kiss...which is causing her to grip onto the table tighter and tighter. Last she heard her daughter was with her girlfriends. :) I think I will stick with majestic view...I feel much calmer with that thought! I have had both :)Jeanne Henriqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07986759909478180763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-63424685954522396662011-08-08T05:25:45.462-04:002011-08-08T05:25:45.462-04:00I have seen Hopper's paintings but did not kno...I have seen Hopper's paintings but did not know the name of the person who created them. The paintings are just lovely and what fun to learn about the creator of them!<br />To me the woman in the painting could be watching for her children or she see's deer or some other animal in the meadow ; )Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14759831735033471810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7063946489075478675.post-3883725723573096292011-08-08T03:56:26.585-04:002011-08-08T03:56:26.585-04:00Quiet beauty.
