We've returned from our trip to the Wolf River at the cabin build by my grandfather and great grandfather. In Sage's words, "I love it here more than anywhere else on Earth."
Our week away brought us hours in the woods hunting mushrooms,
post-swim snuggles in the warm sunshine,
plenty of time alone with my needles,
Lupine picking lupines (among other wild treasures),
sibling sweetness on bold solo adventures to picnic alongside the river,
and a few quiet campfires as the sun sank low.
Our spirits are quieted by this time alongside the river. We love it here with all of our hearts.
Oooh, I love the first picture! It’s so dreamy, I expected to see a fairy peeking out from around the mushroom. 🙂
How wonderful! There has been a lot of talk at our house about getting a cabin up north…your pictures are helping the cause right now!
Yes Rachel. Just what I needed to see. We go up to my aunt’s cabin tomorrow for some good rest and peaceful water time. Maple and I are headed out to the yarn store right now so that I can pick up needles for one of 3 projects that are coming up with me. He he he. Can’t wait.
Love. Let’s hang when we get back.
Rachel, wonderful pictures!! Took advantage of your free shipping offer – thanks for doing that. Do you have a “store” in Viroqua?
Looks wonderful. Just what’s needed in the chaos of life.
Wonderful photos…just beautiful!

Brings back childhood memories in the woods. 🙂
looks relaxing! I love the picture of your kiddos on a picnic. It’s so sweet.
Sherrieg,
It was HUGE! So magical. Lupine and I were both transfixed by it for a long time. Definitely. Magical.
Cassandra,
We are so blessed to have this place to visit. It has been in my family forever and there was talk of tearing it down a few years ago. My sisters voice of reason swayed the family back towards keeping it, and Im so glad we did. It is a wonderful thing to have that cabin in the woods to also call home.

Meg,
I head you were heading out of town. Have an awesome vacation. Just you and the wee ones? Chill well, mama. Call me when youre home. xoxo Rachel
Hi Lori,
We do not have a store in Viroqua, thought the co-op carries many of our products and we also have a booth in the Viroqua Public Market. So without a store, you can still find all of our products for sale here!
Best,
Rachel
Emmy,
So true. We were quiet. Still. Relaxed. Unpluged. And all of that cant be anything but good.
