Camping out while in my bed.


It's like camping out while in my bed. I open the over-sized sliding glass doors on each side of my bedroom to enjoy the cross ventilation and, well, to feel like I'm outdoors while in the comfort of my bed. 

This is what it looks like if I turn my head the other way.

An oversized sliding glass door opens to a courtyard. A "Tim Seibert-special" wood-louvered window is open. More breeze.

Seeing the light leave the room and enter in the morning is one of my favorite pleasures.

Besides the gift of hearing the breeze rustle the palm fronds, I woke to the call of a Great Horned Owl this morning! I didn't see it. But, I knew it by its call. It sounded like THIS.
