sass 'n' bait   Wow, what a great term this is!  It's perfect!  I love it, and wish I had noticed it ere now.
Luke--I LOVE having a window open in winter!  'Specially when Hubby's gone, as he was this weekend.  I even had it open Friday night when it got down to zero.  It reminds me of visiting the farm when I was growing up, when the only heat in the room was from the fireplace; in the winter my mother would pile quilts and blankets on my bed--it made me feel all cozy and wonderful!  Now, though, I only need the sheet and the comforter--and half the time I wake up with the comforter kicked to the side.
Edit:  Avy, the other wonderful thing about cold weather (aside from not sweating and being miserable) is that there are NO bugs!
