But SF annoys the hell out of me now after 13 years, it's more like a small town than a city - Philadelphia got the same after 3 years of living there. Ideally I'd live in NYC or maybe Montreal? and stay in Vermont a lot. Or win the lottery and go from city to country on a whim. My new place is in Berkeley so it's not really quiet either, but at least it's a whole house without hearing neighbors, for the first time ever!!! I feel very lucky to have my little Vermont escape!

I know this is just a longing, perhaps a romanticizing of the concept, because I've known myself to go positively stir-crazy even after a weekend vacation in cozy quiet places. Yet, it is still a pleasure to experience those stirrings. I love reading posts and seeing pictures that nudge these stirrings into being. Thank you for the lovely inspiration! Who knows? Couldn't it be possible that one day I will actually transport myself into the coozy/quiet lifestyle - and love it? Time holds the answer to that one, I suppose.

I am just seeing this now - I came back to re-read your writing for Janna, and try and summon the whirlwind into words to comfort - but is gone! So I found this, and it made my heart feel like a snowflake dipped in cocoa. So amazing. You better build a loft on top of the loft for me, because I'm moving in! Don't whitewash, aaah! The wood is soooo pretty. Take me to diner, to teepee, to winter sun fires, to flannel sheets, to antique stores, to hills. Hearthome! Ach!
