There is something loving as well as dreaming about this time of year, then as we are slipping from Summer into fall as well as hastily into winter, there are multiple swings taking locale in my psyche.
- Throughout the summer, my brain is focused on having fun in the sun as well as keeping everything light-hearted.
It’s a time to meet up with friends, grab ice cold drinks on the patio, as well as spend days basking in the sunshine. As cold weather begins to emerge in our region, my brain immediately shifts towards the indoor work I can accomplish all season long; Because the outdoor air temperature is going to be low as well as uncomfortable, I start dreaming about improving my indoor environment as well as the activities I can find to entertain myself during the multiple long, cold, dark hours. Often, I take up a current activity such as painting or sewing to bridge the long as well as boring season. Additionally, I start feeling of the instinctual desire to begin hibernating. I want to nest in my home, as well as to create a beautifully moderate as well as comfortable environment. This is about the time that I started venturing around to local thrift stores as well as collecting space heaters. Every year, I travel around the county as well as try to build up my arsenal of alternative heating options. I have learned from experience that my central boiler is incapable of keeping up my property as warm, toasty, as well as cozy as I want. When the cold air starts blowing through, I crave intensively moderate as well as snuggly environments. Call it nature or nurture, however every cold season, my instinct is to start hunting as well as party for additional space heaters.
