You might think this heap of brush seen in the woods behind our house is just a pile of branches that needs to be burned or carried away. It does look that way at first glance...
But, if you observe it more closely, you might soon discover that it is actually a home. But it is not just any home. It is a home for an eight year old boy who lives in magical lands by day.
Here's a closer look...
Do you recognize it? It is obviously the home of Yoda. It may be the case that you are not familiar with Yoda, so I will fill you in...
Yoda, the ancient and revered Jedi Master, lived his final years hiding on the swamp planet of Dagobah. Nine hundred years old, Yoda had trained Jedi for eight centuries, and was very powerful in the Force. Among his last pupils were the most important (and reckless) Jedi in recent history, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke Skywalker.
There you have it. Now, don't be fooled by the past tense of that description of Yoda...as if he is now deceased. I can assure you that, like Elvis, he lives! We have proof, right here in our backyard. If you happen to stop by during these summer days, I'm pretty sure you'd even get a chance to meet him in person. Lucky you! If you do stop by for a visit, just be sure to bring your lightsaber! You never know which enemies may be lurking just around the corner! Oh, and you all know that Big Foot does live in Wisconsin. He may find Yoda's home very inviting too! Just come prepared : )
