I like to prepare for the next season by blabbering a little towards this.
As I continue with current happenings by specifying my upcoming activity, I have honed in on a three level housing project of passive solar design, "The LifeBarn". The top level might be a retractable roof like an umbrella that can be taken down or put up as desired. The middle area would be a nine foot circle including my night bed that folds up into a daytime work table (i.e. console for an organ keys and pedals). Cat naps might occur in this area as well as the other areas which would be available all day and all night, inside and outside. My living place has become more stable each and everyday so that the ground and floor level of my place holds an outdoor herb garden that participates in the current land site with an ongoing construction energy for the french drain and built up outdoor kitchen deck with picnic tables.
My week now already has included specified tasking like washing clothes, preparing meals, and, practicing presence while playing the keys and pedals of my new organ.
Some of the fun we seem to have each year has been an ongoing recognition that Winter enters in one year and turns to Spring the following year - so we have two time frames for Winter 2015 (December 2015 - February 2016 and December 2014 - February 2015). Reminds me of the tension in the word 'everyone'. Maybe we could always say 'every two' since our duality occurs in everything, even seemingly same things.
Being in Fall prompts me to look for the upcoming solstice. The Winter Solstice for us this year is December 22, 2015 at 04:48 UTC.
