You know what this is? This is progress! For the first time in over a year this platform is getting the time it deserves. Can’t wait for what comes next!

Rainy days make for amazing rainbows! I don’t know who else needs to hear this today (cause we sure did) but - the struggles you go through today will only help in the end. Help you be stronger, more understanding, better. One day at a time till we get our rainbow.

Today’s rainy day has me missing this warm sunset earlier this week. This platform is going to be finished here in the next few months to get prepped for winter.

Well, the property now has two new little fur babies!! Two identical kittens have joined the work crew up here. Be prepared for much more kitty content 😁

The sunrise on the drive into Kalispell is always amazing! And if it’s a calm day you might even get to see hot air balloons.

in downtown Kalispell is a local favorite. Who knew cornbread and huckleberry could be my favorite ice-cream but it is! Make sure to try “River Float” if you stop by… it’s so good!

Montana’s “fruity pebbles” and wild roses. The rain has seen a lot of rain recently and that means more wildflowers 😀. If flooding has changed your plans be sure to check us out ! We’re high above the flooding.

Changed up the bedding! A natural linen is what’s needed in a space like this.

Hiking near us: It’s a gorgeous hiking area with multiple lakes, great views of Flathead lake and much less traffic than Glacier. There’s still some snow on the road up but the lower trails are fully accessible.
Only a 40 min drive for us 😁

It looks like the the sky is on fire tonight!

Another day, another amazing I’m starting to think the hard you work the better the sunset. Maybe it’s a reward, what do you think?

Who got news that five domes are on their way? Well that would be us 😁🎉🙌. Finally is an understatement but they are in transit. We hope to get one up but this summer and two more platforms before next winter so we can continue to build through the snow. We ‘re so excited!

This is what we all need more of! Sitting still…watching the sunset… after a long day.

Good morning !! Crisp spring morning just as the sun is coming up at the best. Well… until the summer mornings 😁.

Pictures of a bright night. Cold temps ( 5 degrees), full moon, and snow make for some awesome night pictures. We can’t wait till we have hot tubs up here for nights like this!

Snow topped posts! I can’t get over how much I like this view. Each season it offers something different 😍😍😍

18/11/2021

The wind these last couple nights blew all the 6 inch beams we had staged up on the pillars! Luckily things have calmed down, power is back on for most residents and we get to work with the best view ever!

08/11/2021

Progress is progress no matter how slow! Supply issues have slowed us down but not stopped us! Here’s to working in the snow all day loving that we get to build 😁😍

Hints of fall are popping up everywhere in . Are you excited for fall or are you holding on to summer as long as possible? With material delays we’re still without power or water on the property so we’re hoping these lovely warm days last as long as possible. But, we do love the colors of fall.

Tonight’s sunset is pretty spectacular. These are all taken from where we’re building our first dome platform😍.

Grandpa and grandson working together to de-branch some trees. Bronson gets so excited to help Grandpa with whatever project needs to get done. Thanks for the help!

When guests want to come stay for the long weekend but you don’t have any domes up, you make the best of it! The kids and I worked together to make it feel as cozy as possible. We love having guests 😍😍😍.

Dark clouds and rain won’t stop these kids from getting their energy out! Lucky for us there are some amazing parks in
