Alexa took this hideous video if you can bear to watch it: eeeeeeew I know, I know they're just bugs but they need to go away already.

Ladies and gents, the weehouse is officially open for summer. I made a short trip up for memorial day weekend and it was beautiful. I spent most of the time walking my land trying to decipher all the lovely medicinal plants in their spring proliferation. We also took to clearing some ground cover and planting some not-so-native medicinal plants, let's hope they take root. Also... Winnie has two new baby ducks! Nothing quite as cute as a baby duck.

A snowy, waist deep weekend with a lovely trip to Bovina's new cafe Heaven. Where it is, indeed, teacup heaven! The picture of the pink cup is for my good friend Ruby Pruett.

Leaving a very snowy Chinatown to head upstate. Hopefully we will make it! Stay tuned for pix of a very snowy weehouse.

p.s. Jude also has a corresponding treehouse quilt blog if none of you have have snooped through my comments: http://onebyjude.blogspot.com/

Amazing!

Hi kids. Just fyi... I've been on the west coast for two weeks (family trip) and since I've been gone my apt was robbed. My lovely little computer and every shred of treehouse documentation is now dust in the wind. I am much preoccupied with robbery follow-up things so check back here in awhile for updates and such. I emailed these pictures, luckily, to myself so I could post them while I was away. They are pictures of a treehouse quilt(!!!) that Kursten's mom Jude selflessly hand stitched for the treehouse. My photos barely do it justice, I see something new every time I look at it. It's unbelievably beautiful. Jude, forgive me for saying so in such a public forum, but you are TRULY an artist. Make no mistake.

Hurray for roofs!! Spent only four days upstate but it was was a great four days. It was supposed to rain but the weather gods blessed us with the most beautiful fall weekend. Sun and mist and a little rain but truly perfect. And I have a roof. I was also given the most amazing gift for my treehouse that I'm dedicating an entire post to (tomorrow) because words can't really describe it as it is the most magical thing anyone has ever put a hand to.
