I feel fortunate to have shelter that allows me to spend time in a place I love and wish the same for everyone. I find it fascinating how diverse human attachments to place are. I crave rugged canyons, mountains, trees. Others want wide-open deserts, prairies. Still others thrive in the city. I'm glad there are people who love all these different landscape and who attend to and tend nature wherever they are. Thanks for the feedback on my yurt essay.

As a kid, I spent every summer in a log cabin in western NY which I always thought was such an adventure. Less so when there was indoor plumbing and hot water...but I always felt such a connection to nature that I missed the rest of the year. I should not have married a native New Yorker whose idea of living in the country is where we live not in the suburbs. LOL...I guess everyone has their own idea of where they best fit in the world.. You seem to have found yours...Michelle I had not heard of a ‘yurt’ before so I did some research and then came back to read your piece (which is very good).

My husband and I want to eventually have a yurt (we have a long way to go to get there!) and I love seeing and hearing about people's adventures with them. thanks for checking out my blog too, by the way :) Great post, and congrats on the write-up!
