A few degrees from cozy ...

We had a stretch of spring-like weather after a wet but mild January. A few days ago, the temperatures dropped back below zero (which is cold for these parts). My fireplace will heat the house to about 15 degrees - which is not freezing but is also not quite warm enough to be considered cozy. An extra layer of clothing and a pair of slippers make it quite acceptable but I think I will look for a more efficient heater before next winter begins.

I have a new squirrel visiting. He only has half a tale so has been named Stubbs! A varied thrush has been added to the list of birds coming to the property. I'm at 28-30 species now.

A few minutes of fame!

One of the things I never expected when I decided to go tiny was getting kicked way out of my comfort zone. However, in the interest of advocating to make tiny houses legal, that has been happening over the last few months. A newspaper interview and radio show interview last year ... and now part of a mini-documentary on Shaw TV. Quite a feat for an extreme introvert who is very camera shy! Although I don't like being on film anymore than in photos, here is the video for those who have been following my tiny house saga.
