Who needs a cabin?

My longtime readers have seen plenty of pictures of my cabin in the woods. It came about because Cliff fulfilled a wish of mine for a place where I could go and get away from all the people and traffic around here. There was a time I'd try to spend at least one night a week back there with my dog. Sadie (and Mandy before her) both enjoyed staying at the cabin because they were allowed to sleep on the air mattress with me. And also because there's always something for a dog to do in the woods.

It's been a cold spring, with nights in the 40's and 50's. So that has kept me from sleeping at the cabin. But truth be told, now that we're back here away from the road, I pretty much have all the benefits of the cabin (in my back yard, at least) along with the comforts of home.

I can start a fire in the firepit and watch Sadie nosing around the place.

If I were to take a notion to get on the computer, it's right on the other side of that window. Of course, I could bring the laptop outside with me, too.

I can enjoy the sunset in peace and quiet.

I have an Internet radio to play my Pandora stations for me.

And there's a bathroom and a kitchen and running water. Oh, and air conditioning when it's hot. I have none of these comforts in the woods.

So I'm not sure how much I'll be using the cabin. I don't think it will be often.
