The only space I had previously was in the small dining area (open concept room) but it has no windows ! It wasn't calling me to come over and play. I play in art much more time than I have company, so I finally told myself, why not have it the most fun way for me on a daily basis? Was crazy not to just for an hour or two of company here and there.
This is the view out my front window. I stepped out on the porch and snapped it to give you the most updated version. LOL It is a horse pasture. When I moved here there were three rescue horses there. One has since perished, but I love seeing the horses as the graze or frolic or take off racing to the barn way in the back when one of the owners comes in the long drive that borders it. Absolutely no way to find a complaint about that. :)
You have such a lovely space to look out on. I'm in the middle of a city albeit one block from the sea. My window looks over the Church community garden to the main road. I used to love living here but nowadays less so. It's getting busier and busier, more and bigger buildings, less and less cultural cohesion. No idea where else we'd go though. I'd hate to move away from the sea. I never tire of it.
I don't blame you for not wanting to move away from the sea. I am on a very long road that leads from my small downtown to WAY out in the country. It used to almost be considered "rural" way before I got here, but as normally happens, more and more modern residential neighborhoods have been springing up between here and town, so I'm really only barely on the edge of rural now, so I do understand what you are talking about. The only reason one of those terrible things hasn't happened across the street from me for now is that the man that owns it was raised there. His father built a big house further down that was split off and sold. To the right of the horse pasture is a cow pasture with a small holding pond and the owner's father's ashes are spread there, so he will never sell it. I just hope he lives a very long time ! 😄
I always thought I'd love to live in view of some water, didn't matter if ocean or pond, river or lake, but that has never happened and I'm guessing it never will, but I won't spend time fretting about it. It still would have been nice.
