Sun drenched days and star lit nights...

So Dan and I drove up to Oswego today to do a little treasure hunt.  We were meeting someone who had thousands of movie posters.  But the entire drive through Oswego's back roads was absolutely poetic.  There were huge turtles everywhere crossing roads left and right.  The forest were thick and made me want to go on an age long hike.  All we kept thinking was this would be a perfect place for a little summer cabin.  Just a modest place you can tuck away for a day or two to relax during the week.  I of course immediately started planning it out in my head.  I have to find someone selling their land for cheap (under $10,000 ideally) and I have to build my own tiny cabin.  A few of the following also came to mind:

I would love to sleep out in this cozy tree house and climb through the treetops.


 This one has the tree directly inside the house!


  "solarcabin" has his own youtube channel where he shows you how he built this cabin for $2,000 and runs off of solar panels.  I can't handle the amazingness!


 Sandra Foster completely remodeled this old hunting cabin into this beautiful romantic cottage.


She was featured in the New York Times.  Everything is from recycled materials.  This gives me hope I can achieve similar results.  I like how the white paint gives the cottage a crisp, fresh, airy feel.

Summer time and the livin is easy...


In winter I get up at night...


...and dress by yellow candle-light....

...in summer quite the other way...


...I have to go to bed by day....


...I have to go to bed and see...


...the birds still hopping on the tree...

 

...or hear the grown-up people's feet...


...still going past me in the street...



...and does it not seem hard to you...


 ...when all the sky is clear and blue...



 ...and I should like so much to play...


 ...to have to go to bed by day?
