Slept With The Window Open Twice In Late October

This fall has been fairly mild so far. Last night, we were able to sleep with the bedroom window open. Well, I guess we actually did the night before, too.

There has always been something different for me about sleeping with the window open. I feel so much more at peace when I hear the outside sounds. The fresh, cooler autumn air was extra nice last night.

I used to sleep with the window open on cold days even. My girlfriend wouldn’t let that happen. She’s always cold. Even in the summer, she’s “freezing.” On the other hand, I’m a furnace.

More often than not, when I was up in the mountains, I slept with no heat. It didn’t matter how cold it was. I honestly didn’t trust the propane heater while I was asleep. That, and the fact that I was always too cheap to want to buy more gas,

I will say that these past few days with highs in the lower 80s have been pretty enjoyable too. I love winter and snow, but I also enjoy a pleasant warm day as long as it’s not too hot. The in between is what I don’t enjoy as much. Those times when it’s warm enough to feel like you don’t need a jacket or could wear shorts, but also cool enough that you wish you had a jacket.
