a little windy and a lot cloudy

Jun 14, 2026

Today is yet another day where rain is in the forecast, but so far, all we’ve gotten is clouds. The wind is light and it’s not yet hit 75° at after 9:30 AM. Blah!

I was able to start my morning in my usual warm-weather fashion.

I typically have coffee on the deck first thing. It’s the time that I’m outside with the dogs. It’s not because I want to be up early. There’s not even enough sun to create shadows.

If I ever have or build another house…

There are 2 distinct things I want if I ever move from here and build — or if I ever pick a new house to call my own.

ONE.
I want a utility room in the back of the house with a door that goes outside. I HATE doing laundry in a bathroom closet. I want the room big enough to have a place to fold and hang clothes, along with an area to feed the dogs. I want the door to lead to the fenced in backyard.

In my last 2 homes, dogs go in and out of the kitchen and I couldn’t hate that any more.

TWO.
I want a 4-season room with a shit ton of windows. While we had what was called a 3-season room at the Seymour house, that doesn’t mean it was a comfortable place for 3 seasons. That room was too hot in the summer and too darned cold in the winter. I want radiant floor heat and a fireplace — and central air to keep me cool.

I want to see more of this from the comfort of my new room:

Are you happy with YOUR house the way it currently is?

If not, what 2 things do you want?
