dreams and sweepstakes

Browsing through a recent issue of Yoga Journal today (how nice to be on holiday!!), and saw a feature on gorgeous, exotic yoga retreats. (The online YJ site doesn’t seem to mirror the print version, so I can’t post a link to this.) What caught my eye were the sorts of things I could do on my land… a treehouse deck, a meditation space created in the forest with candles circling a mosquito net canopy (that’ll be essential in the summer), a candlelit labyrinth… Yes, I’m still thinking about one of those! And I’m also thinking more practically about solar heating, and the job of clearing parts of the land, which is why I’ve just entered the Mother Earth News sweepstakes to win a solar hot water kit, gardening stuff (including what looks like a little tractor), and also the chainsaw sweepstakes. Would love to win a chainsaw!
