My hubby and I recently went on holiday to visit my aunt and uncle upstate.
I love visiting there because they live in a remote part along side of charming lake.
I can get up in the afternoon, stand on the porch with a cup of coffee, and just listen to the sounds of nature. The only setback to our visits is the fact that I always need to catch up on my sleep when I get home, because they live in such a remote part they don’t have access to normal fuel sources like the rest of us do. In the wintertime they depend on a wood-burning boiler to keep their household moderate and in the Summer they simply open the windows and deal with whatever the temperature is. This can be a complication for those of us who are used to having a central Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C system and climate control year round. I find that I can be completely surrounded by the most charming trees and a charming lake and still not be able to sleep at night because I’m so uncomfortable. My aunt and uncle have chosen a self-explanatoryr way of life and I supply them credit because I don’t know that I could do it. I love being able to go to sleep at night, adjust my Heating, Ventilation as well as A/C system to whatever my preferences is, and awaken refreshed in the afternoon. My associate and I live in a regular suburban town and have every source of fuel available to us. With the push of my button I can have my household as moderate or cool as I like at any given time. I can’t imagine having to get up in the middle of the night just to feed a wood stove in order to keep my household warm, or having to suffer through a nighttime of 69 degrees with high humidity and not have any way to change that.
