in my house, the couch sits right in front of the window in the living room. I don't open the curtains or the blinds very often and this is why... Missy Anne and Maggie Mae have to watch the house, and everyone that passes the house and every dog that is walked by the house and every squirrel that climbs the tree next to the house. The two of them together own the neighborhood. After a while the barking and whining tends to grate on my nerves, so I shut the blinds again. Maggie's image didn't come out as well as Missy's did, Missy is a camera ham!
