Cabin Update...

"Sometimes, in a summer morning, having taken my accustomed bath, I sat in my sunny doorway from sunrise till noon, rapt in a revery, amidst the pines and hickories and sumachs, in undisturbed solitude and stillness, while the birds sang around or flitted noiseless through the house, until by the sun falling in at my west window, or the noise of some traveller’s wagon on the distant highway, I was reminded of the lapse of time."

~Henry David Thoreau

“Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb nail.”
~Henry David Thoreau

“I have, as it were, my own sun and moon and stars, and a little world all to myself.”   

~Thoreau

Raising the Roof

Day One of roof raising... We got more than 1/3 of the way done with just a small crew of workers. We're planning on working the next two Saturdays, so I suspect that we'll have the cabin under roof by some time in June, weather permitting.

The nice thing about this stage of work is that it only takes a few people to make progress. Of course, the more, the merrier.

Progress!

Working on the Cabin

Mad Lilies

In spite of the dark in the sky
and the stones on the ground,
she danced like mad lilies
in a storm
Her bare feet fearless
in her persistent determination
