Moving, and thoughts about sleeping outside

We are moving next week!!!!!
I can't tell you how excited I am - AND, this morning, I had a thought about sleeping OUTSIDE in the garden area of our new place.
I'm holding tight to the thought of this place meeting lots of our needs; more square footage, a big and wonderful organic garden space, and last but not least - the house is located right across the street from the POOL. (The pool is only shared community-wide with about 25 families, so it's hopefully not going to crowded).

The always-has-been-all-organic garden area is very large - maybe a little more than a quarter of an acre? I am very happy to have a garden space again, as it's been a while (Greensboro had a small area where we planted tomatoes). But NOW I CAN PLANT A BIG GARDEN!

The location of the house is great for all of us, especially Erin, as she can walk to HS.

I woke up this morning thinking since the garden area is so big, I could pitch a tent and sleep outside. Erin and I were talking about going camping, and we needed to buy a tent too. I have very high expectations about how good it's going to be to be able to sleep outside - it feel the breezes and the winds, to keep the birds, to see the sun rise and feel much around me waking up, to notice the stars, the deep inky purple of the night sky...ahhhh, yes, I'm going to sleep outside at the new house.
