Mom always loved a clean window, and Linda and I suffer from the same affliction. I don't have the nerve to go out in freezing weather, and lucky for me the windows at my work are three floors above ground and don't open, so I'm not tempted to clean them on even a sunny day. But I do appreciate a clean sparkling view, and when weather permits, I go out on my front porch, stand on my little step stool, and clean my windows in record time too. I like to hose the windows and door down first and then finish with a good window cleaner and clean paper towel. Let the sunshine in! Yes, it’s true!

I was also reminded of the TV commercial about the two birds enjoying the sight of the human walking into a big patio window and knocking himself silly because it was so clean! It's sort of a birds-eye version of The Three Stooges. A little bit of dirt on the window never hurt anyone, I say. But on the other hand, I can see why you wouldn't want any specks of grime getting between you and that great view you have.
