The spring chirps, warbles and crows while we saw, hammer and drill. In the middle of a large, lovingly landscaped garden with a swimming pond, our first herald of spring takes its roots: at the foot of a bald cypress we have planted a tree house seed in the ground in finest sunlight. Heavy March rain ensured rapid growth and wet feet. A spiral staircase now winds its way around the tall tree up to a small platform. From there, like a butterfly caterpillar, it strikes its suspension bridge-body at a height of 18 feet and a length of 43 feet over to the hazel tree. There, the large platform unfolds, where you not only have a wonderful view of the spring activity in the pond and the multi-generational house, but also enjoy the wide view over the fields..
