And of course, I can't save the images, but take a peek!

And yeah, NOT so good...
This is the outside of the big French door--they were never meant for outdoor use, and although I varnished them with spar varnish (several coats) and J. used some kind of sealer stuff, obviously it hasn't worked that well.
This was a design flaw on my part...there's not enough of an overhang on the roof there, and when it rains or snows, too much moisture on the wood. NOW what?!
Well, we have got to get those gutters in place, or something. (Yes, locking the barn door LONG after the horse is halfway across the next state.) We've known that for some time, but trying to settle on what has obviously not been a great idea.
I'm hoping it will last a few more years, because we'd have to have a custom door made...ouch! We cut these down to fit...definitely not a standard size.
Suggestions anyone?

Wouldn't I just love this...
A silent retreat center with tiny hermitage houses, deer, and elk, in Arizona. Now THAT is my idea of a vacation. Check out more photos and information on the Tiny House Blog, here:

...and take a peek at the Awakening Spirits retreat center's website, here: http://www.awakeningspiritretreat.com/
Oooooh yes. I used to go on silent retreats when there was a retreat center in the next town...it was glorious.

Tiny changes...
I have a lovely new ball crystal throwing prisms all around the shed in the mornings...it joins the rest of the family. |
Attempting to convince succulents that they CAN grow for me...though the most delicate one of the three seems to be wilting, one stem at a time. |
And still it is a lovely place to work and read, eat breakfast, journal, heal, exercise, watch birds, sketch, shoot videos, listen to music...and sometimes even make it. The shed works just as I'd hoped, 4 years ago.
And I am very, very grateful.
