I Like Rural Living

Even in winter, now we have a half meter of snow and some roads are blocked, even when you have a 4x4 it's still hard to leave home, but even when we can, it's cosy in house with the burning wood stove.
The only thing what sucks a bit is electricity cuts, we had three already today, last year once for two complete days and a few years ago once three weeks
Luckily we have a generator as well, because just reading a book by candle light, ore doing other stuff sucks, and no wifi sounds romantic, but it is a nightmare in 2017, even to me 😂

That's a beautiful picture. Do you find the generator is extremely loud and consumes a lot of gasoline? I was uncomfortable the 5 hours I used one last summer. Got a strange headache, felt perhaps the carbon monoxide was getting into the house.

@DanielChristensen That's why I have two, a small one and a bigger one, I place them a bit away from home, that helps a lot, so it's not that noisy.

@SW-User Do you see the full compliment of stars and colors in the night sky out there in the country? It's been so long for me. I also remember the deafening silence, like a physical presence, silence so broad and deep.

@DanielChristensen We do!
In summer when we have guests, they are always exited by the clear sky and the amount of stars on it!
