Out On a Limb 04/22/2009
0 Comments
 

This may sound crazy...what else is new?...but we checked out The Treehouse Book from the library last week and have been inundated with mind-whirring ideas ever since! The co-author, Peter Nelson, has corroborated on the one above and these other two books below as well...and they all have some really great...out on a limb...ideas! Find out more on their Treehouse Workshop, too...

Right now you can 'take a look inside' these books on Amazon, if you'd like to take a peek. It's really amazing what a person can do with a really small space...and a big imagination! On the Out n' About Outfitters site you can find out more on treehouse construction as well as their famous Treehouse Treesort & Institute where you can choose from several styles of treehouse lodging 'amenitrees' and/or attend classes on various aspects of 'elementree' to advanced treehousing.

We're beginning to look at the trees and woods on our land in a whole new light now! Click on the images to take a look at some 'far-up' possibilities.

A Farm B&B 04/22/2009

If you're already wondering where you plan to take the family this summer for vacation, why not skip Disney World and opt instead for a 'Farm House' get-away! Better yet, make it a Working Farm get-away...replete with cozy lodging, lots of fresh air and open spaces...and fresh off the farm fare for all your meals...including a picnic or two!

Blackberry Farm in TN sets the bar, as does Mary Jane's Farm in Idaho, but there are many more nationwide...and even abroad. Check out Homestead on The Romantic Mom for more lovely locales...including Maine, of course!
