If I moved where you live, it would be the warmest place I’d ever lived!

But I’m in the COLDEST PLACE I’VE EVER LIVED and think of this blog often when messing with the heat. Fortunately, I have a whole wall of South and East facing windows, which is pretty standard here. They do seem to build for passive solar heating and if there’s sun, I can get the house to almost 70 just by opening the curtains. I guess that’s not so doable when you have cloudy weather there?

So anyway, in Taos I came across the EARTHSHIPS! I think I need one of those! google them – you’ll be jealous!

I have fond memories of poking holes in them….and getting in lots of trouble for it! Can still remember the smoky smells and the old grannies knitting. Beautifully written, thank you.

Time to start eating miso soup for breakfast and daydream about wood burning bathtubs.
