This is our summer bedroom with a view and clean fresh air. We have a queen size air mattress, two sleeping bags and if needed a down comforter and an extra blanket. Last night at a 50 degree temperature we used the extras. I love sleeping in the wide open spaces. Especially when I get woke from a sound sleep to tell me to look at the moon shining through the trees. It was beautiful What I like about sleeping outside is pure peace and quiet, relaxation so good that it only takes minutes to fall asleep. For some reason daily worries, aches and pains do not exist out there for me.
If you don't know I will tell you that the husband and I camped in a tent for 4 weeks around the perimeter of the USA 4 years ago. We had the air mattress, electric coffee pot and electric fry pan for luxury. The best part, Dick likes to get up early and made coffee and breakfast while I slept in. It was awesome, so much so we are planning another camping trip next year to Colorado, Utah, northern California, Oregon and Washington. We will do some repeat states but the West Coast is like no other! In Jackson Hole, WY and Lassen Volcanic National Park the temps dropped to the low 30's at night. Daytime temps were high 70's. This trip is when I fell in love with tenting. Prior to this tenting trip we decided to tent with the Harley. Three trips, two in southeaster PA and one in W.V. No thank you, it's no fun without an air mattress, fluffy pillows and all the little extras. Did it and never want to again. They were fun and quite the adventure that gives us some good memories and laughs.
I usually don't have problems sleeping and if I do I stay in bed. No getting up to crochet, knit, read or quilt and especially no Internet. All of those things would just set my mind in fast gear. I guess I could have been a pioneer with my likes and dislikes.....NO that is a joke, I could not take the hardships and hard work. I like my quiet, sometimes too much to do life.
Next week starts the garden canning which I will be blogging about. Green beans will be the first to harvest. Out comes the pressure canner with how to and pictures as I go. Stay tuned!
Remember "Pass it On" what ever you have to offer.
