Our house has an arched window in the front room
that faces directly west. Many of our neighbors have identical windows hidden
with blinds, curtains or shutters, but when we moved here ours wasn’t
covered. A few weeks each year – spring and fall – the setting sun would
interfere with music lessons and with dinner in the adjacent dining room. I
drew this design on a piece of butcher paper which I took to a stained glass
studio near the ballpark in Salt Lake. A few weeks (and a few hundred dollars)
later, they installed the finished product. I loved the way the colored light
danced across the floor and the wall each afternoon. But one of our tenants
didn’t love it. We found the window hidden in our garage with a large crack
through its middle. It was sad, but this maple tree (bottom center) has since doubled
in size, rendering the window invisible and unnecessary.
