This little cabin was built almost entirely from a cedar tree that had been lying nearby. Framing, flooring, shakes. Maybe that’s what makes the building so harmonious. Jan had told me this and, as I was climbing around inside and ... Read More
A Little Shelter in the Woods -

Begun in 1984, Little Woodham is a fascinating re-creation of how an English village could have looked in 1642. The village, beautifully situated in an ancient oakwood, consists of more than a dozen structures ranging from a fisherman's shelter to an Ale House, Blacksmith's forge and an Apothecaries shop. On open days it is staffed by volunteers in period costume who can be seen tending the herbs and vegetables in the cottage gardens and practising a wide variety of period crafts. Around 1500 school children visit the site each year.
Being a shelter dog is tough, so The Luvable Dog Rescue in Oregon built their pups private cottages where doggies can be extra comfortable. The shelter was already a pooch paradise on Earth – think 55 acres of land with forests, meadows, and hiking trails, all for the enjoyment of the four-legged friends. But with the new cottages, the shelter got upgraded to a new level, with each canine having indoor and outdoor space to himself.

WHO IS BETH ALLEN? AND WHO--OR WHAT--IS SHE RUNNING FROM?Beth only wishes she knew. Six months ago, she woke up in a shabby Arizona hotel room with no memory of her past. What she did have was a bruised face, $2,000 in cash--and a little boy who called her "Mama."What's her real name? Is she a victim or a criminal? The child's savior or his kidnapper? Until her memory returns and she can answer those questions, Beth knows she has to hide. She's chosen Shelter Valley as her sanctuary.The town welcomed her, as it welcomes all others, and Beth has begun to fashion a new life for herself and her child. But when she falls in love with Greg Richards, her sense of sanctuary is threatened. Because Greg's the sheriff of Shelter Valley--the one man who could uncover the truth about her past, a truth that might destroy the woman she's become.

Creativity. Uniqueness. Out-of-the-box thinking. These are not words we commonly associate with public transportation, much less the very utilitarian piece of infrastructure we call a bus stop. But this hasn’t stopped some architects and designers from deciding to put together something truly special for all the daily commuters that wait, rain or sun, night or day, for a bus to show up.

Have you ever considered volunteering at an animal shelter? Millions of animals are in need of love and attention, and most of all, a new home! Volunteers are vitally important to shelters, many of which are overstretched and underfunded.

Just a pair of fun, inspirational/creative-works, photos...these were sent in by readers- thanks! Below, I've also recommended three of MY FAVORITE BOOKS on UNDERGROUND HOUSINGS/DWELLINGS....my book has a few ideas as well ("Humble Homes"). A tiny underground house from Nordland, Norway. I can't find anything more on this place, and would LOVE to see the interior- well, aside just being able to see the guy in the photo peekin' through the window. While not an underground house, I just love this little cave-like tiny dwelling below as well.... If you're into the underground houses, or would like to read more.... -Derek "Deek" Diedricksen
