So, I moved to my winter habitat. 

I found this place and negotiated my rent with my landord to include utilities, etc., and have the best landlord ever.

It has a great front room with windows going all around so I can see the world outside.  Buutttttt, when it gets cold outside you need coverings on the windows to cut down on the draft.  I don't like a lot of heat so I keep the place fairly cool.

The first couple of years I didn't have anything on the windows except the blinds because to move is just a pain and I didn't want to have to worry about curtain rods.  I then got this brilliant idea.  The top of the blinds have a bar that is open.  So I bought some curtains to hang up and clothes pins to clip the curtains on the top of the blinds.  It works.  Clothespins do not take up a lot of space when moving and I don't have to worry about curtain rods and hardware to put the rods up.

So, if you ever need a quick way to hang up curtains, clothespins are the way to go.
