I just looked at the date of the last post and I can’t believe how fact time slips by. I was chatting with a friend about building tipis and it reminded me that I hadn’t posted on the tipi living site for a while so I grabbed my camera and took a short trip through the garden and took a few pics of my tipis in August. Hope you enjoy the tipi pics as much as I enjoy my tipis.

I love summer - each year I plant the gardens a little different and each year, I get to sit or around in my tipi and enjoy them. One problem us the herbs that I planted a few years back, seams most of them would rather grow in the pathways than in the herb beds. Nice part is it smells real good when you walk up to the tipi.
These pictures of my tipis and my garden were taken today. I’ll post more as the garden around the tipis grows. I’ll need to cut the dill and oregano in the path to the tipi pretty soon or I won’t be able to get in my tipi - and that would be bad!

I just moved all the seedlings out to my tipi greenhouse and into the garden and planted the gerrnhouse with the summer crop of tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, artichokes and cucumbers. I probably have too many plants in there again but oh well 
This is the third year that I’ve grown stuff in a tipi but last year, I didn’t take very many pictures of the gardens or the tipi. I promise to keep you posted this year - and I’ll even take a few pictures of the tipi and all the great produce.

I got a late start this year but I finally managed to clean the old plants form my greenhouse tipi yesterday and I’ll be planting tomatoes and peppers in the next day or two. Last year, I planted a bit too close and I had tomatoes growing out of the tipis smoke flaps. !3 ft tall tomatoes producing 20oz fruit in an organic environment ain’t too bad. I This year I’ll only be planting two tomato plants in the tipi and a bunch of hot peppers, and a few herbs. .I may even put an artichoke or two in just for fun. Last year the tipi was filled with marigolds so this year the volunteer marigolds will have to be thinned or they’ll overrun the greenhouse tipi.
It’s cold and raining today sI have the tipi closed up but I’ll snap a few pictures and post them as things get growing.

I’ll admit - the last two years I’ve spent more time in the tipis that I have in my back yard than I have camping in the mountains in one of my tipis. With this in mind, I thought I’d show you a few tipi exterior pictures of my customer’s tipis. But they have to be in the yard ;-).
OK - Tipi #1 in in Cascade, Colorado, tipi #2 is in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, tipi #3 in my good friends in Estes Park, Colorado, tipi #4 is in Franktown, Colorado, tipi #5 is in Hamilton, Montana, tipi #6 is in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, tipi #7 is near Taus, New Mexico, tipis #8 are in Malibu, California, tipi #9 is in Phoenix, Arizona, tipi #10 is in the Trinity Alps of Northern California, tipi #11 is in my daughter’s back yard in Neunkirchen Germany (we made snow angels in front of her tipi to protect it), tipi #12 is in Aspen , Colorado, Tipi # 13 is in Denver, Colorado, Tipi # 14 (pictures 14, 15, and 16) is in San Francisco , California.
Well thous are just a few of the thousands of Reese Tipis that are in folks back yards scattered across the country. Email me a picture of you backyard tipi and I’ll post it here. richard(put the at thingy here)reesetipis(put the dot thingy here)com

Tipi painting is a wonderful art. There is a lot more that goes into it than people think. I have been painting for many years, and started to paint tipis with Reese Tipis Inc. a few years ago. I have learned a great deal and discovered much more through trial and error. Reese Tipis offers a full service paint department and can assist you with any questions you may have while in the process of painting your own tipi!
