if peace and quiet was REALLY what i was after, i wouldn’t have dogs

Nov 27, 2023

I chose to live on the outskirts of Crothersville because of the simplicity of rural living. The barndo gives me that. My other priorities are peace and quiet. Welp — that doesn’t happen when you have two onery dogs.

Chilly with colder in the forecast.

It’s supposed to be colder today than yesterday’s high of 43°. Rainy and chilly, I have two windows open — one in the office and the other in the bedroom. It’s not because it’s hot in here… it’s because I want the air I breathe to be cool. Hot air is awful.

Do you do that too? Run a fan to sleep maybe? Prefer your bedroom to be cooler than the rest of the house?

Dharma likes the cooler temps.

You’d think with her arthritis she’s prefer summer, but she wears a heavy coat year round and likes it brisk. We’re both hoping for snow soon. Big, white, fluffy flakes, please.
