The Days of Dandelions


What is more reminiscent of childhood than Grandma's cookies and Dandelions? Spring has sprung at the yurts and we have begun to find all kinds of wonderful plants and creatures around here! The frogs serenade us in between rainfall each midnight. We have been stuck in the mud down by the creek while taking in the sweet aroma of skunk cabbage. We have witnessed a tiny cotton ball looking thing turn into a million tiny spiders. We have been thrilled by watching the grass seed turn into grass. A sparrow family has taken up residence in our garden bird house. Today we saw a crow catch a garter snake out in the tall grass near our garden. Everyday has been a wonderful adventure of exploration! I love seeing the world through the eyes of a child! Dandelions are full of beauty and magic, not something to disdain.

Almost 1 year!


Wow! It is approaching that time of year when we finalized our decisions about purchasing yurts! I love looking back on the pictures and the stories that make up our past year! Our yurts are so amazing. Our garden is coming together and now with the covered bridge between the two yurts, our home feels like a some kind of special spa retreat.
