Hunky: .It's that time of year - open window time. That's when the weather outside is nicer than the weather inside.

Dorie:  It's also when we monopolize the windowsills. We know this time of year is brief, so we take advantage of it.

Hunky: .There are two things about it that we find fascinating. I prefer watching the birds that fly around among the bushes, sometimes coming close to the window. I sit very still, but they usually don't even notice me.

Dorie:  I just prefer all the outdoor smells. There are so many different and varied aromas. There's always something to attract my attention.

Hunky: .All this lasts for several weeks, but just as we're getting used to it, the windows get closed again, and we move onto the next phase ...

Dorie:  ... Air conditioning time!
