At work I look out the window, only in daylight, to see the county court house right across the sidewalk. (we only have the blinds open in the daylight, so that people cannot see into our center with our lights on, and it being dark outside). However, when I work (quilt) at home I look out my window from upstairs and see our back yard (we live on 18 acres) and now I see lots and lots and lots of snow (approx 24in), and in the summer I see our wonderful garden growing lots of vegetables!!!!! And I am thankful for both views :-) :-)
