Warm bed, in Canada’s cold

It was minus 3 at Tiny House Ontario for the two days that I was there.  A small propane heater brought the temperature up to the place where you could not see your breath, not exactly winter camping but mighty close.  Still, I had known this before I went and packed a lot of bedding.  Up in the loft I used 2 blankets, 2 comforters, and a fun fur covered (non-animal) duvet.  I also slept in fleece with long underwear.  Sexy eh?

This was cozy and though I could see my breath in the morning again when I woke up, I slept well and the bedroom is really cozy.  Here is what it looks like there.

Low afternoon sun

I have just arrived home now from two nights at Tiny House Ontario.  Honestly, I don’t know how the Inuit people can stand the cold!.  The temperature hovered at around -3 degrees… I am exhausted!

These two photos are taken in sequence from inside and then from outside.  The first out the South West window, the second is the sky from the tiny house taken facing to the South West.  They are nearly the same image, if you take the time to look.

Painted Window

When I am alone at Tiny House Ontario I look out this window.  It is not always possible to see out it, because it is often times fogged up.  Even though I can’t see out, it is still one of my favourite things to look to.

If I put an addition on Tiny House Ontario, then this will become a doorway, but I think I will put this window right in again in my bathroom or kitchen.

Such a simple creative piece, but it must stay.

To the woods

Dear Readers,

It is snowing now here in Ontario and today, in a moment, I leave for Tiny House Ontario.  I am not sure how long I will stay, because I don’t have any heat there except a little stinky camping propane heater and about 30 bees wax candles.  I am not convinced that my tiny herd, of tiny dogs, will like the Tiny House, with only the tiniest bit of heat.

So, this is a heads up.  I will not be posting while I am there because if you have been reading you know I am as off grid as one can be.  I hope to be there the 10 nights which is what I am aiming for, but it may only be 2 depending on the dogs.

Even so, I will come back armed with more photos of the place.  There will be, I hope, some good and updated visuals when I return.  In the mean time, I leave you with one of my paintings.

Stay safe, keep reading and planning!

Laura
