I love treehouses, from those that kids bang together of scrap lumber to “tiny houses” equipped to live in. I dream of having something in-between, a writer’s retreat that’s weatherproof and inviting enough for a day or night, without the complications of wiring and plumbing. When a camp and conference center I support was remodeling a lodge a few years ago and replaced some of the windows, I offered to buy a couple for my eventual arboreal nest. I kept them in a basement for awhile, then moved them to my Dad’s “hill barn,” where they’ve been ever since.
But I don’t want to stockpile for “maybe someday” anymore. I trust that, if I do eventually bang that treehouse together, I’ll find what I need for it then. I listed the windows on craigslist today so maybe someone else can build an outbuilding, garage, playhouse … or, even, home-tree-home.
shedding style: release, resell
destination: craigslist

I try to keep it light-hearted on WIST, but there often is grief-work to do in letting go of our old dreams, isn’t there? That’s how we make room for new dreams, though.
Exactly! And the peace of mind and calm that comes with letting go!
[…] I embraced a spur-of-the-moment shed. Clairie and her friend came to look at the double-hung sash windows I have posted to craigslist. Full windows in frames weren’t really what they wanted, though; […]
