Snow overnight, what does that portend? How will life in The Little House seem in January and February? There's one way to find out, isn't there? Stay tuned.
After my rock picking obsession I spent this cold brisk morning in my shop. There were a number of small projects that were left as I concentrated on rocks. Two cars are parked in the garage for the winter and the '79 Lincoln left after 16 months. Two more cars are yet to arrive. It's such a big warehouse type of space that's too expensive to heat. The plan is to turn the furnace on while I'm working there to see if it's feasible to work when it's really cold outside. It was built in 1907 so insulation wasn't included.
"I feel an opportunity to recommit to simplicity and the founding principles of my line. We're all about sustainability but still producing more and more, when maybe less is more, and maybe it's about having a better and more simple life." Eileen Fisher in a Nordstrom ad, in the September 7, 2020 issue of The New Yorker.
"Less is more..." Is life in The Little House 'more with less'? Perhaps, I certainly don't feel deprived.The weekly evening I used to spend with my granddaughters is a big void. Not teaching this fall...I miss the students. Not seeing family and friends is a loss. Yet, there are ways in which my simple life here is very satisfying. Life is meaningful and I am blessed.
