This is where I try to work - or one of the places I try to work. (Don't you think P.S. Haven's print would look good on the wall?) Just a little corner in our bedroom. Yeah, it's cluttered, and sometimes that might not be good because it can be distracting. But I'm a cluttered person. Nothing simple or easy about me. And even though I may enjoy a clean, zen-like environment from time to time, I like messy. It's more interesting. Maybe because nature is messy. Just take a walk in the woods.
This is where I'm gonna build myself a little writing cabin - on our land up in Maine. It'll sit where that downed tree is in the middle of the photo. It'll be small, not much larger than a good-sized tent, no power or plumbing. I've been thinking I want to do a living roof. Timber frame. Cordwood walls. A covered porch to sit and look down at this hemlock tree that I've named the "Embrace Tree" because there's a second trunk curling around the main one. I'm designing it. I want to build it myself. Oh, I'll accept help, but I want to do as much of the work myself as I can. It will be my retreat. It's a little ways from our house site, far enough, but not too far. My hope is to get most of it done this summer and fall, but the way things have been going...
