Well, I
quess it has been awhile since I blogged. I am just going to follow my friends way of blogging and just write. So what thoughts have been spinning around in me? I am frustrated with our current state of housing. I am frustrated with the way it looses heat, wastes heat and is so unnatural. I am on a quest to change, change the way I view and use my house. I am sick of this materialistic, I have it all together, my house is a catalog view that I keep failing at. Why fight it? I am just going to change. It is hard to think of ripping my wall out to put in a cob wood stove with a cob couch on the other side, both of course absorbing and spreading heat through the cob wall when our house is up for sale. So one more month I think on the market, and that will be all I can handle. In the waiting I am researching in floor heating, some system for storing heat in the ground throughout the year, better winter window add-
ons, any other alternatives I can. If I could rip all the walls out of my house and rebuild them in other places to make the layout of my house work better for our lifestyle what would I do? So I am dreaming, pondering, planning. Even if the house sells and we move, these thought will be for the new place too.
O my then there is the outside, hee hee. I tell you here is my thought on grass: if there was a plant that cost more money and time than all the flowers and trees in your garden and it still didn't look perfect wouldn't you rip it out? hell ya! that is what I feel about grass, what a waste of garden space. So I am planning. My poor husband, he keeps me grounded, or else my yard and house would be a constant construction zone. Interesting to study how we came to have a front lawns, farms didn't have a yard of just grass, who trained us to desire it? who made a shit load of money off of us to have this plant that constantly needs more work than it is worth to make it perfect.
Yes it is a day of thinking of the whys and why nots.
