A very cold morning…not really…
At 8am this morning I checked my outside thermometer to see how cold it was….I was on my way for a brisk walk along Ocean Blvd. It read 15.3 degrees…. I thought this must be wrong… It was not… My deck is south facing and the sun was high and strong… Coffee on the deck this morning was fabulous!
As I walked past the apple orchard I took a picture of the gorgeous fresh morning; looking south towards Victoria….It was peaceful and very surreal with a few deer nibbling at the bushes along the walk way… I also notice ice which had formed in the puddles….. Zero Degrees!
While I was out walking it got me thinking about my Geo-Thermal Heating and Cooling system that I have in my home here at Aquattro – in the summer when we had our heat wave, my home was always 72 degrees… even when I was having a BBQ party and the sliding doors where open…always 72 degrees…when the weather cooled outside as we headed into the winter season…my temperature remained at 72 degrees… I have not touched my thermostat since I set it in May when I moved in…..constant, comfortable and zero emission into the atmosphere.. I am doing my part to sustain a smaller footprint on the world…and all for just $88.00 a month… Now that is something to smile about when I think back to paying my heating bills in Whistler – which were $450 – $500 every other month for the same square footage of 2025 sq. ft. …Yikes..
