Last week we rented a cottage with some friends a few hours north of here. As we arrived we ran into the house scattering to look at the rooms just like we were the latest contestants on Big Brother. We saw the bunk beds, the huge windows in the family room, the pool table, the weird crouching naked lady statue and the black toilet. Do you know when a black toilet comes in handy? When you are trying to live up to the cottage motto of 'if it's yellow let it mellow'. I was glad that I was at least able to do one environmentally thing (on the down low) while we were there. It is hard to sometimes be green when away at another home. There was no composting, different items are recycled than at home and the water pressure was enough to skin an elephant.
But at the end of the day it is nice to get away for a week to spend time with those that we love and to get back to basics and enjoy nature. Oh and also it is fun to burn stuff....like the Christmas tree the owners left on the fire pit (any guesses on whose idea it was to burn it).
