My wife's brother has been visiting from Oregon for the past month and is about to fly back tomorrow morning. During this time, he has been staying with my wife's sister and her family. While there, he has been building a treehouse for their oldest child. Without having a tree big enough, they chose to build the treehouse in a small group of trees, using the biggest two as the main supports. He used a special type of support that allows the trees to move back and forth without moving the treehouse itself.
The treehouse is over ten feet off the ground, with a deck that goes around half of it and an observation platform on the roof. The interior is like a little office with a both a large and small window, a solid door, and a small attic. It reminds me of the writing gazebo that I wrote about earlier. It would be an ideal place to get away from everything and spend time with thoughts and dreams.
I find myself envying my niece's get-away. I had always wanted a treehouse while I was growing up. Now as an adult I find myself wanting one even more.
