When we’re not restoring log cabins, you can usually find us right back where those cabins began. 🌲🍄🤎
This weekend we spent some much needed time in the forest, surrounded by sentient beings that have stood as matriarchs of these mountains for hundreds of years. Trees that have provided oxygen, shelter, food, habitat, and eventually the beautiful logs that became the cabins we now have the privilege of restoring.
There’s something incredibly grounding about slowing down enough to feel the moss beneath your hands, breathe in the forest air, listen to the trees, and forage for what the woods are willing to share.
Today we found an abundance of wood ear mushrooms! 🍄 They have the coolest texture and this amazing lemony, pine sap smell that is absolutely delicious. We brought some home and are making marinated mushrooms with our harvest.
We spend so much of our lives sanding, staining, chinking, repairing, and preserving wood that sometimes it’s important to go back to the beginning and remember where these homes came from.
We’re incredibly grateful for our craft, grateful for these forests, and grateful for the beautiful old cabins we get to help preserve.
From the forest, to the cabin, and hopefully through many more generations. 🌲🤎
