@Softandsweet2 A few logs to make me a homemade bench ,hidden from others ,,I would spend time there in the cool of the day I used to be so wound up the last thing I wanted was to be alone with my thoughts ,,but now my mind is settled I find a lot of joy sitting around ponds and streams
@Softandsweet2 I love a day bed on a porch I was offered a condo for free ,, the deck was screened ,bamboo curtains to block rain and the sun I lived on the deck (covered like a porch ,lots and lots of plants hanging and on stands ) I let my room mate use the condo ,I lived on the porch I lived on another friends screen porch for 6 months The always tried to get me inside ,,especially when it rained (things got damp but I was prepared for that ) I love a porch or deck ,,tent or tree house If I am surrounded by trees and plants ,birds I am content ...well since 1994 Before then ,,being alone with my thoughts was the last thing I wanted ,,but I have peace of mind again I can sleep anywhere ,,but I love the woods and on the water
@rckt148 I love to sleep on the porch when it's raining. I actually haven't done it in some time, but I used to have a cot that I used. The rain just puts me to sleep. Add some distant thunder rumbles and I'm in heaven. I always open the window now.
