Pax Notarius, our treehouse schooner where many of the plots are worked-out

There’s an entire chapter on this tree house in A Universe of Metal Sculpture .  It’s big and it was  the genesis for the novel (originally named The Tree House) though the name of the book evolved to The Antlers Inn.  Go figure that one.  It’s approx. 50 feet long and accommodates about twenty people, with their food, drinks, and dogs.  At night we have a bunch of flood lights that shoot upwards to the sails.  When the New Hope Railroad choo-choos by at 5 mph, they sometimes stop and wave.  It’s a strange community.   …..Oh, yeah, we made this baby work for its supper.  If you take a look at the cover of Playing on the Black Keys…that’s our tree house!
