The happenings between the lines
Life never seems to go as planned. A yurt that once only took 3 months to get cozy and complete, now is into it’s 7th month. It’s definitely harder this time around. The land was raw and untouched, supplies haven’t been as easily available, and I don’t have access to any machine I need when…

Electrical wires are making it through the house! Kids have lights and plugs in their rooms,we have a lovely ceiling fan to move air around the house, and lights working in the kitchen. The dishes are coming out much cleaner these days! There is no longer a need to run extension chords to run lights…

Digging out roots.
Roots… Trees need them grow nice and tall. They feed the tree, keep the tree standing in blustery winds, and help keep soil in place so that other vegetation can benefit. However, roots are no fun when you are trying to put in a foundation. We as humans have learned (the hard way) that our…

Learning New Things
March break has arrived in Atlantic Canada. Kids everywhere are out of school… except mine (technically). Today we took a break, pilled into the car and got out of the house. On the agenda today was a visit with friends (who by chance are also yurt dwellers), a visit to Canadian tire and Bulk Foods…
