This is a country home on top of a mountain. When we arrived, the AC wasn't functional and the house was 90+ degrees. So, we opened up windows and doors, turned on the fans, and by evening it was a livable temp and remained comfortable without the AC throughout. Surrounded by trees and bushes, there is a feeling of privacy even though neighbors are not far off. We were visited by humming birds, jays, a family of partridges I think, deer, and a hungry calico cat who invited herself for meals for which she seemed quite greatful. The breezes kept us comfortable and the night stars kept us mesmerized. Surrounded by these things, it was a step back from technology and away from our cares for a couple days, remembering the way we once happily lived.
A wonderful time.
