this photo is the view from the one-day-sauna spot, looking back up at the house. it seems like we've been talking about building a sauna forever. i have sauna layout drawings in old notebooks from the days of living in the chicken-coop. and maybe?, finally?, we're getting a bit closer to the real deal. we've got the spot picked out; we've got the sauna stove; and we've received the competitve nudge from mark and tracy up the hill. (they fired theirs up last weekend - the first in the neighborhood! - and it was lovely, lovely, lovely. so hot. laying on the grass afterwards, sipping gin & tonics, talking girl talk with the girls . . . man, there's just nothing else like a red-hot sauna and good friends to sweat with.) so, all we need is money, which will hopefully, miraculously, appear in our hands any day now. (by the way, what's up with this once-a-month-school-district-bullshit-paycheck? that's dumb.) andy has even promised to build a fiberglass wood tub to soak in. and the rain and cool temperatures and dying fireweed and dark nights, and. . . and . . . and . . . it all just makes your body ache for that good heat.

So I'm thinking a Banya (sauna) with a tub (pool) beside it and a slippy slide down...so you can just step out and slide down! Haha..Now that would be a site in Hippy Hallow. You could really show up your neighbors then...hmmm I'm wondering what genius thing your Norwegian neighbor might dream up.
don't egg him on sharon.....right now all he can talk about is a washing machine. i'm dreaming of a bed off the floor! or even just a bed. our sauna plans will have to wait for another year (or two).
yes....saunas!!!!! just took a sauna last night with my girls annie and jana. we jumped naked on her trampoline to cool off. too bad the trampoline was over the compost pile and we all got poked in the butt!! anyway, we too are getting closer to our very own sauna (althought electric), maybe we could keep eachother on track somehow.....
