It’s definitely starting to come together, my friend. Not just your place, but your storytelling.

Oh wow really cool you find the eagle's nest! Nice photos all through. What is the little house? Is it a second structure?

its one of two outbuildings

that came with the place the other just a shed i keep mower and assorted tools in....this one i cleaned out last year and put a new plywood floor that went from like 0 to 10" in 10 feet thats how much it had sank off level it looks all askew inside but at least not tipped.....i re-roofed it and imagine it as guest room and maybe can write something decent in there...or just nap with sounds of forest ha

i found a big screened double casement window for $60 threw that in and built a bed frame and ripped out ceiling to rafters to give it more

illusion of space....all this while i postpone finishing off the bathroom

and other stuff in main house 🤣🤣

always good to hear from you mary ann💫

You are ambitious and capable! I totally get putting off one thing for another as a process. I think we kind of need to go where the energy is. Although lately I just have to go in the place I am trying to work with and allow nothing to happen... until something happens.

so many juicy bits here, including this: "The deer, coyote move in silence seeping from the forest wraith-legged, silent as lovers slipping back under sheets wary not to wake partners"
