Open your eyes more

Today is another blustery day, which is fine by me because it cooled things down quite a bit. I have the windows open for the first time in weeks! But I appear to be highly unobservant. I sit at our computer desk every day for at least 4 hours. And I quite often have the blinds open. And I sat here for a hour this morning before I looked out the window and noticed that our neighbors have put up a new fence. How have I not noticed them putting it up?! I guess it might have happened while we were on the trek, but even then, how have I not noticed it for the last 3 days? As it turns out, I'm oblivious.
