I've been told by a frequent visitor of my blog that I need to post an update. My knitting is taking over my computering!
I spent a good part of Saturday cleaning out the very retro trailer on the farm. This is where I will be moving once I get it cleaned up and colorfied. The problem is that the trailer is REALLY dirty - at least by my standards of clean. I may be a disorganized person...but dirty under disorder is something I do not do. Actually, Mary told me that the trailer is clean compared to how it was left before the previous occupant. Eeek...I don't want to imagine.
I will have the option to live in the farm house or the cob house (really cool space) once Renae and Yoko leave in November. However, I am a cold wimp and it is sounding like the trailer is going to be the warmest option. The problem with the farm house is that it is a very communal space. We all share the kitchen for lunch each day and there are frequent visitors who stay in the guest room and use the kitchen and computer room as well. I like the idea of having my privacy, which the trailer and the cob house both offer. The only issue with the cob house is that it really difficult to keep warm during the winter. There are tons of windows which don't hold the heat at all...and Renae informed me that she would have to get up in the middle of the night to tend to the fire so that she wouldn't have to wake up in freezing morning temperatures. So, seeing as how sleep and warmth are two things I need...and also two things that when absent make me MEAN...I think I should stick with the trailer that is small to heat and has a hot shower.
I am spending my "free time" (which really means my Sundays) scrubbing every nook and cranny. I have plans to recover the seats, do some artwork on the wall, and paint the bedroom section to make it brighter. The entire thing is a fake dark wood...which will surely depress me if I don't liven it up. That's the best thing...I have the leeway to fix it up as I please (within reason) which means that I can really make it my space. It's going to be a haven of color, warmth, and light by the time I'd done with it.
I am going to go attend to this dreadlock that seems to be forming on the right side of my head. I guess that's what I get for not brushing my hair for a week. More to come later...

I didn't think you had any frequent visitors to this blog, since no one leaves comments. It is so funny to me that you are worried about the cold. That is like the furthest thing from my mind right now. We are now in our 3rd or 4th week of 100 degree temps. It is insane. And you know it is hot when they say we are getting cooler temps, and they are talking about 93 degrees as being cooler. Since you are knitting so much, maybe you should knit yourself a sweater and a blanket, and some covers to go on the window of the Cob house. See, this is why people can't do with out me, cause I have all these amazing ideas. It is almost unbelievable how perfect I am. Whatever... I can't wait to see how that Trailer turns out.
