The Amazing Cowboy Cottage

Cowboy Cottage, East Napa, California, USA

March 19, 2023



"From the inside, my Dad's house is the smallest house in the world. But from the outside, it's the biggest house in the world."
... my son Joshua Nelson Platt, 11 years old, 2005

"Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb nail."
... Henry David Thoreau, Walden, 1854
This essay, The Amazing Cowboy Cottage, is the companion piece to Minimalistic.

It is also the sixth in a sextology on Homes:
  1. In The Face Of Commitment
  2. Stellenberg Avenue
  3. Faery Cottage
  4. Creekside Cabin
  5. A House On Franklin Street
  6. The Amazing Cowboy Cottage
in that order.

It is also the sequel to In The Face Of Commitment.

I am indebted to my son Joshua Nelson Platt and to Henry David Thoreau who inspired this conversation, and to Joan "Joani" Culver who contributed material.




I needed a place to stay temporarily while I figured out where I'd live next. I needed time to decide if I'd rent a place or buy a house. It took me two weeks to find this place, this place whimsically known as Cowboy Cottage. I expected to live here for about a month, give or take a week or two. It's been eighteen years now with no end in sight.
