Where the rainbow ends

June 21, 2013 · by Melanie Wehrwein | in Wood, Yurt Living | tagged leprechaun, Rainbow, Yurt | 7 Comments

We were tucking in for bed when Josh called to come outside, quickly. Usually this means some kind of interesting animal appearance.  This time it was an unusually clear rainbow peeking up over the trees into the clearing.  The camera (or rather my camera skills) can’t begin to do it justice.  It quickly spread to […]

The math of after

A few days after the storage unit fire, Josh came home covered in soot and with a huge smile said: Stay right there.  I am going to blow your mind… And he did. For context, think of an item that you own that makes your heart sing a bit just looking at it.  One seemingly […]

Suddenly things are even simpler

June 2, 2013 · by Melanie Wehrwein | in Yurt Living | tagged Down-sizing | 15 Comments

I may have mentioned our storage unit that we’ve had these past several months, this 12×12 extra space to be the closet we don’t have in our yurt. It held the very down-sized collection of items we’d deemed significant and worth traveling on with us, the items we’d taken greatest care of as we moved […]

Home. Sometimes it stops me still, remembering the story is bigger than this moment of bringing the groceries in.
Last outdoor shower of the year...(maybe?) Chill winds blow out the flame and rasp through sparsely leaved trees. Yet the inchworm crawls over my waiting glasses, and still the roses bloom.
Love in the form of community carrot harvest... Where a village forms and swarms, descending like locusts to strip crops from field into belly of deep storage, ready for the many carrot soups of winter ahead. 🥕❤️🥕 #kinghillfarm
A small creature is nesting in the attic. As beautiful and messy as the painted lady butterfly caterpillars nested in the downy white blooms of Pearly Everlasting. Summer beds...
Keeping eyes open for reliable vehicle to replace the salt-rusted car that is older than my almost teenager...ended up with a rust-proof reliable canoe older than me... 🙃 summer... 🛶
Of course...🌸🐓
Don’t tell them I once had a favorite pink lucky rabbit’s foot keychain. (And good gracious why was that a thing?!) ❤️ @wayoftheearthschool
European Mountain Arnica... Ancestral healing for bumps and bruises, with side effect of beauty. 💚
Sometimes magic plants itself in the middle of your worn, familiar path. And you almost step on it. ❤️
Three months watching him, stitch by tiny intricate stitch, make a sweater...for me. Feels like wearing a fairy tale, the kind with perilous rough spots and backtracking and enforced spells of silence and wise helpers guiding along the way. 26 years in, love is complex, interwoven, warm magic. ❤️ @josh_wehrwein #alicestarmore #stbrigidsweater #aranknitting
