Crooked Window

We have a new Scavenger Hunt and I'm the host.  So, I had better get sketching.  I sat at my computer desk and sketched out the entry window with shutters.  What was I thinking?  Shutters and a view.  So I quickly sketched so not to dwell on the problems and came up with a crooked window!

That reminded me of a Mother Goose rhyme which I couldn't remember.  It was something about a crooked man in a crooked house.   I had to look it up.  Here you go:

Mother Goose

There was a crooked man, and he walked a crooked mile,
He found a crooked sixpence against a crooked stile:
He bought a crooked cat which caught a crooked mouse
And they all lived together in a little crooked house.

I don't mind the quirkiness to the shutters at all. Looks great with the view.

Joan, I'm smiling at your comment. Thanks so much.

That crooked window is probably in an old adobe building or maybe a barn. Those old buildings sure hide a lot of mistakes.

Bag Blog, thanks for the help. The window is right across from my desk, sort of the entry. It is very straight and in good shape.
