FIRST MORNING, from my bedroom window . . .

May 21, 2023

 

Correction; From my dirty bedroom window . . . long dreamed vision, looping me back to all those magical years in a 20-foot diameter yurt in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, this one a 12-foot yurt, for visitors, personal retreats, workshops? We’ll find out! And now that the yurt is finally up on its beautiful sturdy platform son Colin built (it arrived and languished on my front porch floor for nearly one year), we will proceed to redesign this entire back yard.

And is this another omen of brand new beginnings? Three-year-old Tiger and 15-year-old Shadow both asleep on my bed this morning (not unusual), but with their backs touching?!?

FIRST TIME EVER.

Pics on process of putting the yurt together later today. Just know: it took four hours, with five to seven people here at all times, pouring over the instructions I sent to you yesterday, trying to figure out what in hell the author meant. Oh, and with a short break for pizza at noon.

If we have to take it down for the Indiana winter (still unknown), it will be a lot easier to put up next time . .

 

 

 

YURT RAISING DAY, in just a few minutes . . .

May 20, 2023

I thought I’d show you the platform here, which is finally done.

A bunch of folks are converging for this task in a few minutes  . . . just like this little mushroom village appeared this morning on one of the wild hugel kulture beds.

And that single iris? Well she is now in full bloom, after a cleansing rain overnight.

Tomorrow, hopefully, you’ll see the yurt, and possibly even a film later on to show its construction.

Here’s the instructions, sent to me by richard@campingyurts.com, last June 2022, when the yurt arrived and had to wait nearly a full year on my front screened in porch.

Whee!
