Bricks and Stone

November 14, 2019November 13, 2019 ~ V.J. Knutson

Our town’s quaintness is derived from the stone buildings, sourced from the local limestone quarry.

As magnificent as these historic buildings are, I understand they are hard to heat in winter months.

Our winters, in southwestern Ontario, Canada, can be harsh. I am grateful for modern materials like clay bricks, and of course, insulation, that keep us safe and cosy inside our homes.

Permission to write, paint, and imagine are the gifts I gave myself when chronic illness hit - a fair exchange: being for doing. Relevance is an attitude. Humour essential. View all posts by V.J. Knutson

I always wanted a stone house, but I know I would have been miserable. I don’t like being cold. So lovely to look at though!

Those are some gorgeous buildings! I’m sure they’re hard to heat, but they sure are a treat to look at.
