Watching the Swedish rewilding video where the woman makes figurines from found sticks made me think of your picnic tables for chipmunks. Something about spending idle time in nature does seem to quicken creative impulses. Of course not all your time spent at the cabin was idle time as your many cabins and ability to survive out there testify to. But by making it possible for you and your wife to live there at times you earned some wonderful idle time.

Google search turned up this article. Nature (The Creative Act).

“Nature has an unparalleled ability to ignite the flames of creativity within us. The sights, sounds, and sensations of the natural world stimulate our senses, encouraging a state of heightened awareness and receptivity.”

“When we immerse ourselves in the outdoors, we naturally become more mindful and present. This heightened awareness allows us to observe details we might otherwise overlook.”

“Nature instills a sense of awe and humility. The vastness of the mountains, the expanse of the ocean, or the intricacy of a spider's web remind us of our place in the grand tapestry of existence. This connection to something greater can inspire a sense of purpose and a desire to contribute to the creative dialogue of the world.”

“Nature constantly undergoes cycles of change—seasons come and go, flowers bloom and wither. This impermanence mirrors the creative process. In "The Creative Act," Rubin emphasizes the importance of embracing change and letting go of attachment to outcomes.”

Okay that’s a lot of words. Giving nature the last word.

When we bought the parcel, back in '99, we committed to designing and building a cabin that would blend in and fit the natural surroundings'
I always loved the A frame design

So
We built one
It didn't seem to hurt the surroundings

And, as hoped, it shed the snow
Possible six feet of it in any given winter

Maybe 2 out of a million actually love to live the Nature B.S.
The rest of it is total crap. Uncomfortable always, at natures risk, of course.
See, total ****! The rest of nature is total hell. Want to enjoy misery?
Well just enjoy the spring floods too. Look at a beautiful winter scene and
realize the complications one has to endure to go to the Doc or Wal-Mart.

AC the Earth at 78F. tops summer and 55 F. lows winter. yea beautiful.

You want snow order it have a couple semi's blown on your place around dinner time.
Ya want a Tornado have a bulldozer stop buy. Ya want a spring flood have the city open
the fire hydrant and drown your ***.

I gave much effort to the interior of the cabin, to keep in tune with nature
many a time, while dining in the breakfast nook, a deer would stroll by the window
Here's a peek inside the first cabin

The exterior was easy, with the assistance of nature itself
