A garden? The deer and bear finish it off before I have a chance to partake.
I have a dirt driveway that needs constant attention in the summer to keep the mud holes at bay. In the winter it takes three hours to clear the snow with the old snowblower I can barely keep running.
No curtains on my windows. Can't decide on a color. And besides, the deer enjoy watching me working in the kitchen.
I do have indoor plumbing. Quite a luxury! Especially in the winter.
My propane furnace is a secondary source of heat. I usually keep a fire going in my woodstove when I'm home. Cutting wood gives me the exercise that my old bones need to stay flexible.
In case you're interested in tidbits of information, wood warms you three times. Once when you cut it, once when you split it and once when you burn it. Hot dog! Now there's a bargain!
I could go on, but it getting late.
Well it seems living in the city has its similarities.....
No curtains on the windows 'cause voyeurism is rife anyway...
No driveway to tend to because the drunk neighbours take it out every second weekend and land either in the pool or through the fence...the local wolves are certainly to be beware of in the local clubs....central heating...and if you feel cold just go down to the local bar and get amidst the dance floor talent and sweat your ass off!
