This little house used to be 15’ up in an elm tree in my parents’ yard. My dad designed and built it on weekends one summer when I was 7 as a playhouse for my sister and I. He bought all the lumber from a neighbor with a sawmill. I’m so amazed and impressed that he had this idea and took the time to build it. At some point as a young teenager, I asked my dad if we could finish enclosing the treehouse, so he taught me how to put siding on and helped put windows in. It occurred to me to move out there at some point shortly thereafter and it’s been my bedroom at my folks’ place since that time. Even though it was rustic (and freezing ass cold in the winter, even with a heater - eventually we insulated it thank God) it was my own private kingdom where I could be alone, make art or write, listen to music or the radio, and hear coyotes howling at night as I fell asleep or wake up to the birds singing in the branches. It swayed in the wind.
After over 30 years of supporting the treehouse, the elm tree slowly began to lean a little too much. Luckily my dear old pal @swedishfox happens to be a treehouse expert and hatched a genius plan to extract the treehouse from the tree. We built a platform and set it up high. It doesn’t sway in the wind anymore, and though I miss the tree (it’s still alive and well in my parents’ yard) I’m so grateful to preserve this special space that offered my younger self (and my present day self) autonomy and imagination and peace and quiet and a birds-eye view of the farm.
Now my niece and nephew can have the respite as I did. And deck is much bigger now, so morning coffee, afternoon coffee, happy hour, etc… it’s on. And star watching slumber parties.
Thank you @swedishfox@calebklauder@normwillms
And that’s a wrap for the 2026 UK tour!
UK, you were fabulous and we won’t be forgetting these past three weeks any time soon!
Over half our shows were sold out, we traveled hundreds of miles through Scotland, Wales and England revisiting friends and places we had seen before and also discovering new places and making new friends. Thanks to everyone who came to the shows, to all the promoters for putting on concerts and big special thanks to @robheronteapad at @stradamusicagency for booking the tour!
Foghorn will meet again in May in California, stay tuned for tour announcement soon!
