Our new home is a perfect tree house: sun-drenched deck in the afternoons, moon-kissed window sills at night.
A cacophony of crickets and nighttime birds, in waves... The blue foliage of evergreens and a permeating smell of humid earth.
I'm hoping that —if we stay here long enough— some sort of sap will start coursing through me, as well. :)
From every direction, tree tops offer wild curtains to our windows—they'll turn into a majestic theater with the passing of seasons. Our feeble plants are already loving this filtered, green light.
Last night, we saw the Small Dipper from our own creaky deck, and imagined the shadows below to host wolves and spirits.
It has been a long time since I lived under skies that weren't inflamed by city lights.
Oh, you are happy, happy! I am excited for you and your tree house. This will be a brand new chapter, filled with the magic of sounds you have forgotten and have yearned for in the city. Oh, your inspiration will soar, I know!
ReplyDeleteYou're right! We're very happy with our new little home.
ReplyDeleteDriving through fields and mountains for three days renewed my sense of awe, I think.
I was in a naturally enhanced state (mix of exhaustion and hunger, probably!) when I first got here; I'll always remember how I felt electrified by the surroundings. A beautiful day! :)
Ana, I am so very excited and happy for you & the adventures, mysteries & wonders of life awaiting you as you settle into your idyllic tree house & begin this new journey! Looking forward to more beautiful photographs & stories from you. All that you share is always inspiring!
