Do you like to have your windows open or closed when the weather is good?

I like to open my windows wide when the weather is good. I will let the sunshine into my home for atleast few hours a day. I also feel that this allows fresh air into my home. But my neighbour never opens her windows. She keeps them closed all the time and instead switches on the lights to work. Which one do you prefer? Do you keep your windows open or closed in a day of good weather?

I open my patio doors and windows early every morning as long as it's cool out. I like to change the air for the morning fresh for the stale. I will even put a fan in front of the patio doors to bring in the fresh air. When the weather is cool at night I will open up the house then too unless rain is predicted. I like to hear the night sounds.

Those sounds aren't really loud enough to keep me awake.

I believe our home also has a soul and needs fresh air and lots of sunshine to be happy and generate positive energy. So whenever the weather is good I just open all my windows to let my home breathe.

i keep mine closed usually. maybe during falltime i will start opening them as it is to cool for an a/c or fan. and the breeze will feel good and the air will air out the house.

Interesting..I have heard like this for the first time..Usually I have heard people closing their windows when the breeze is more to avoid the chillness.

if it's raining, our windows should be close. rain will definitely go inside if the window is open and lots of mosquitos too. if it's too hot, then there, I'll open our windows so that the air would come in.

Mosquitoes are the biggest problem on the rainy days.I prefer summer for this reason..

I like to have my windows up and let the fresh air in. I just can't wait for those days when I can do that. Nothing is like fresh air. That is why morning is the best time of day for me the air is fresh and new it seems to clear the mind. I love my windows up. I like my doors open too but I have storm doors so the air doesn't come thru them but the light of day does. It just make you appreciate nature more.

That is amazing..Fresh air in the morning cannot be replaced by anything. I too love it. I like to stand in my garden for few minutes in the early morning. This boosts my energy level for the day.

I keep mine closed. My allergies are so bad that I can not raise the windows when the weather is good although I would love too.
