I often dream about living on a parcel of land in a Saskatchewan river valley. Our dream home sits on just shy of 30 acres of land, much of it winding up the valley’s slope through trees where fox and deer wander...
Not a surprise really. I suppose eagles might be next on that 'pecking' order. Get Bryce to do a little chicken pickin' guitar and though not entirely unique, you likely have a hit! It surely wouldn't lay an egg! Oh my, I'll quit now with the fowl humour.
Well, thanks, I think. Sorry to bombard you with all the jokes in one paragraph. Normally I send them in 'layers'. Dad Jokes is an interesting term - it's kind of a continuum in that young folks tend to say it with derogatory intent, whereas folks my age think of it as a badge of honour. Would love to know were you stand on this?
Your creative and detailed writing style made it so easy to visualize your dream home and the surrounding landscape. It feels like a location we would all love to retreat to. May this dream come true for you, Blake & Trip.
That's a beautiful story, made all the more touching by how you walked us through its years. Thank you.
thanks, Denton. ☺️
I’m not clear. Is this a dream or reality? It sounds amazing. H
gotta dream it to build it.
Sounds idyllic!
I can even my dead hens seem that way. :)
Somewhere there's a song in those dead hens.
According to Hayes Carll chickens are the bird mostly commonly written about. Who knew?

I can't think of a single dad joke to make in return. You took them all, Ian. Impressive.

That’s a manifestation baby!
Get out your homegrown herbs and divining rods, witches!
Just lovely. Once this all comes to be, I’d love to be out in one of those cabins writing 👍
You are so welcome. :)
Yes! Where do I sign up for the cabins? 😊 Beautifully written as usual, and I continue to love the illustrations breaking up the text!
Oh, man. Reunion of Music Stack in the cabins!
Simply beautiful, Mel. I pictured it all and it was better than heaven. So very lovely…it will stay with me all day.
❤️ we’ll get there. ❤️
Oh yes, without a doubt. 💜
Beautiful. Your writing and the place you're conjuring. (And very much like our dream place!) May it come to be.
A TNW retreat would be well positioned in this dreamscape. :)
Yes! One day…

Thank you, friend. xoxo
Can Sue and I move onto the parcel of land next door?
I see no reason why not. Though we may need to lean on your carpentry skills at some point.
When the manifestation is complete, I'm coming for a visit. It sounds just like the place I grew up. Right down to the fox and apples.
Ack! We would LOVE that.
My favorite story yet… I look forward to your musings every week ✌🏼❤️
Aww. Thanks, Steve. Nice to see you here.
Sounds like heaven.
I’m on the hunt!
