Had a great weekend at the yurt

I spent the last weekend up at the yurt. My sons wanted to go to their friends house so they didn't want to go. We haven't got the place finished enough yet for my wife and 18 month old daughter to want to stay overnight yet; so I was a bit bummed out that it would just be me going. It turned out however to be a great time.

I spent the day time hiking the area and doing some fishing and then at night I worked on the wiring of the electric and other inside projects. I also had a pretty big campfire and just relaxed and listened to nature while watching the stars. No phones, no computers, no TV, just simple analog living. Instead of playing a video game or watching a movie, I spent some time playing guitar by the fire and working on a couple songs of mine that I never seem to have time for.

The temperature was perfect, no humidity and not a cloud in the sky. It was one of those weekends where it really felt worth it that we put so much time and hard work into the project.

Just thought I would share.

We had another great weekend up at the yurt. This time, just the wife and I went. The forecast was not good as it was supposed to rain all Saturday and into the night and on to the next morning. However, when we got there around 2pm the rain stopped. At around 7pm the skies cleared and it was a beautiful evening with a bright moon and a sky full of stars. We had a roaring fire and just enjoyed getting away. It didn't start raining again until we were on our way home on Sunday.

Wow. Sounds peaceful, my friend. I envy you that. I'm on the edge of that wilderness and can get to it easily, but my yurt will be set up in town.
