I would like to celebrate what is, for me, one of the most magnificent days of spring:

Today is my official First Opened Windows Day. There was one Opened Windows day about two weeks ago. The window in our living room was open and stayed open for a good part of the afternoon. But today is the first day of spring that I have opened the window in my bedroom, not to get fresh air, not to say hi to someone on the path, but strictly for the pleasure of enjoying the weather.

What makes it The Day is that the air is the perfect temperature, slightly cool, but comfortable, it is peaceful outside, you can smell in the air that spring is on its way, the snow has or has begun to melt, and it is the first day where all or most of these conditions meet. If the sun is shining, it is an added bonus, but as evidenced by this Day, it isn’t essential to the enjoyment of it.

So, Happy First Opened Windows Day to me and also to you whenever you celebrate it this season.
