Pondering...

Today's picture seemed like a good one to me. I love to sit by the water, preferably an ocean but anywhere I can listen to the water lap up onto the shore is a soothing spot.

Have you been following the "Tiny House" movement in the USA? There are some absolutely adorable ones. Check out this one in Nantucket.


My girlfriend, Sharron, and I talk about the fact that we'll all end up in a one room situation eventually. Wouldn't it be nice if we could have something cute like this though?

But how is that going to fit with my love of porches? gardens? the great outdoors?





I am so not ready to downsize but they are cute, aren't they? I would still want all my creature comforts though so when I saw this stone cottage, even though it's pretty, all I could think about was how bitterly cold it would be! I really, really hate to be cold!! Extreme heat isn't delightful either but cold makes me shiver and ache right to the very core of my being. I have always been this way...how did I end up spending most of my life for 15 years in an ice rink? I wonder if that's at the root of why I hate to be cold so much?


So, are you all ready for the little ghosts and goblins? I saw a picture on Facebook this morning that it's only 33 more days now. We'll be in California but on the 27th we'll be going out to the Living Desert to check out all things spooky at "Howl O Ween". We've never gone to anything, other than the little train in Stanley Park, for Halloween so this will be fun...cold but fun. The temperature sure drops like a stone at night in the desert!


I will have to make sure I have a nice soup or at least some tea all ready to heat up when we get back to the villa! When we go to California in the fall, we really need a mish-mash of clothing to deal with the wild temperature swing...5 days of stuff for cold and wet weather as we drive down, 4 days of hot weather clothing plus sweaters & coats, flip flops, runners and boots. No wonder I need a BIG suitcase, even though we have a washer and dryer!

Speaking of tea...I think it's time!
