new home number 19
the fairytale spot
"so i'm living in a magical wooden cottage on the mattole river. the owner is an architect and the house reflects it. every corner, every turn, every space tells a story with line and light. every simple and eclectic piece of art or vase of dried flowers or birds nest or stained glass window just adds to the feeling of having stumbled into the woods and woken up in a good fairytale. the grounds, which i have yet to explore, sprawl around us and reach to the river. the yard is littered with giant trees and ferns. the garden has roses and hollyhocks and fruit trees. birds sing in the trees, most especially the large maple right outside my bedroom window. yes, i have my own bedroom - wood paneled, darker and comfortable, with a window at the head of the bed perfectly framing this glorious tree. i woke up from dreams of lettuce to the sound of bird wings and the purring of a little gray cat that looks just like chai. if it is a dream here i don't want to wake up. if it is a fairytale then this must be the happily ever after. or at least it feels that way... after months of adventuring around, with heroes and villains; through glittering cities and mythical, mysterious lands, after all the unending quests and thousands of miles i can finally stay put in this magical cottage in the woods and live quietly.
