jb, it was good to read through your daily log and relive part of the trip. We enjoyed having you visit, and it made the Old Marais River Run come alive for me again. Had to laugh about your comment that we have trees so close to the house, which is the farmer coming out. After all the years living in town where the only trees were the ones we planted, so they were tiny, we placed this house among the trees and wildlife, leaving as many trees as possible. We love our house in the woods.

Your home, in that setting, is extremely picturesque, and suits the setting perfectly. In fact it's quite magnificent . . . those huge windows bring the bush 'in' to your living area; and I can see exactly why you've built where and how you did.
I tend to look at things from a different perspective however; and my major concern (if I was in your situation,) would be fire.
Secondarily; I'm slightly claustrophobic, and would (over a period,) find that close proximity a bit overwhelming.
But . . . I'm not in your position, and you're not in mine, so you can tell me to go and get *******, mind my own business, and smile while you're saying it!
(Which, knowing you, I am in no doubt whatsoever that that's exactly what you will do!)
