Just My Personal Opinion, Of Course...

  A Cabin Setting Somewhat Like Mine Years ago I found this cabin scene that looked similar to where I live. You can find it all over the internet. Some say it is in Vermont, others claim it to post for many other reasons. Me, It clearly shows the one disadvantage I have during the winter season. In fact, for one reason or another I had been forced to spend most of the past winter inside my cabin, which is fine normally, but this year, my furnace started failing.
