Talk about efficiency.<br /><br />This new neighbour of ours is giving me ideas for winter. I am going to save money by hibernating from January till May. Of course, I will have to fatten up before then.<br /><br />You are lucky to have a fine furry friend right under your shed.Gregg Koephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09349453216733070775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-56859342244106228792014-08-19T23:48:12.056-03:002014-08-19T23:48:12.056-03:00Madeleine,

We are really enjoying getting to know our new home.<br /><br />Spending time teaching or rehearsing at a piano sounds like a whole different kind of beauty to me.

We haven't had such sunlight in our home for a long time. I think we can get some passive solar heat in the winter as the sun shines on our dark floors. <br /><br />Free heat would invigorate me.

I spend a lot of time teaching or rehearsing in tiny little piano studios in schools and I'm pleased if I can at least see a bit of sky and a tree or two. I often pick a sprig of something from the garden (shhh, don't tell!) just so that I can have something beautiful to look at while I work. <br /><br />Madeleine.xAussie Connoisseurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02668698720239626709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4312736954468978064.post-72450517729717524592014-08-19T17:56:24.310-03:002014-08-19T17:56:24.310-03:00To look out of the windows of your home and see su...To look out of the windows of your home and see sunrises and "wild" and "life" is invigorating.
