The women, nine of whom are retired and range in age from about 60 to 80 years old, share the explicit goal of keeping one another company into old age, possibly until death. The Bird\u2019s Nest declares itself a women-only community, and the inhabitants broadly agree that, at this age, women are easier long-term companions than men.Most of The Bird\u2019s Nest women are single \u2014 as are half of American women 65 and older. Most are also divorced, one has never been married and one, a widow, has \u201cthe perfect relationship\u201d with a man who lives out of state. Among them, they have 21 children and two dozen grandchildren who are scattered across the country from Washington State to Arkansas. Nine dogs live on the property: \u201cour babies,\u201d they call them. For a while, the women kept a turkey named Turk, a goose named Mother and three ducks. But over time, they found they couldn\u2019t keep up with the poop. When Turk developed an aggressive streak, they decided the birds had to go.\u201cI loved that turkey,\u201d said Robyn Yerian, wistfully.ImageHanging out in the area residents call \u201cthe kitchen.\u201dYerian is The Bird\u2019s Nest property owner, a 70-year-old extrovert with cropped, bleached hair and a cheerful demeanor. I was sitting with her and her neighbors in \u201cthe kitchen\u201d at The Bird\u2019s Nest, which is not a kitchen at all but a large, open-air portico that functions as a community lounge. Strung with twinkle lights and dangling with ceiling fans and painted signs \u2014 \u201cLike a Band of Gypsies We Go Down the Highway\u201d \u2014 it\u2019s where the women gather to eat, chat and play cards late into the night. Nearby, raised vegetable beds were bursting with zucchini. The mobile tiny houses, some encircled with sunflowers, resembled fairy-tale abodes.Who made the decision to get rid of the birds? I asked.The others chimed in. In addition to making a mess, the birds were antagonizing the dogs and, sometimes, the people.\u201cWe had a discussion,\u201d said Cheryl Huff firmly. She is a former first-grade teacher, Yerian\u2019s closest friend and an original member of The Bird\u2019s Nest.\u201cThere were rumblings,\u201d Yerian conceded. She understood. Sometimes Turk slept in her lap, but her fondness for the birds was not shared by all. \u201cIt\u2019s not just my house. You know? \u201dI traveled to The Bird\u2019s Nest in mid-July because I had been searching for real-life examples of a fantasy I have had since my 20s. After child-rearing and a career, my friends and I would buy a big house somewhere affordable and cohabitate the way we had done in college: cooking and laughing and hanging out, chipping in for accessibility ramps and health-help as needed. (Less considered were the lifestyle preferences of our then-hypothetical partners.) This fantasy, or versions of it \u2014 aging among female friends \u2014 is rampant among the women I know. It circulates on Facebook groups; we share news articles about this community in London, that one in France. Phil Levin, the founder of Live Near Friends, a Bay Area start-up that facilitates group living, said half the inquiries he receives are from women over 50.ImageTiny houses on the property. Yerian had the property zoned as an R.V. park and installed 14 10-by-30-foot concrete pads. The women of The Bird\u2019s Nest are not the richest of American women, nor the poorest. They are retired from administrative and helping jobs: teacher, nanny, pricing specialist for a grocery store chain, data analyst, customer service agent, legal secretary, home health aide. Two were laid off at around age 60, cutting short their earning years. The wage gap between men and women \u2014 in which women earn, on average, 82 cents for every dollar earned by men and which widens with age \u2014 persists into retirement. According to the AARP, 64 percent of American women ages 50 to 64 who are not retired and not married have less than $50,000 in retirement savings, compared to 52 percent of men. Women\u2019s Social Security payout is, on average, 20 percent less than men\u2019s.Two lesbians, married, live at The Bird\u2019s Nest (one identifies as a \u201ctree hugger\u201d), as does one Republican gun owner; one Bible-believing Christian conservative; and several women who call themselves \u201cmilitary brats.\u201d They have been through a lot, but not any more or less than other women: cancer, infertility, addiction, mental health issues, domestic abuse. A few have grown children living nearby and enjoy hosting grandchild sleepovers, annual trips to Ireland, fishing vacations in Michigan. Other adult children live at an emotional distance, painful reminders of parenting regrets. The late-night sessions in the kitchen often resemble free group therapy, observed Trish Earixson, one half of the married couple.The women disagree about a lot of things, especially politics. It\u2019s Texas. Inside their tiny homes, one woman may be writing postcards to swing states and another may be studying her Bible, but they have agreed not to argue about any of it in their common spaces.\u201cWe say we respect each other,\u201d Huff continues, but \u201cit\u2019s hard.\u201dThey\u2019ve made the choice to be in this together, which means that when Katharine Wickham falls off her deck while stomping down a Styrofoam box, the others will drive her to urgent care. And when Huff has knee replacement, her neighbors will pick up pain medication and bring food to her door. \u201cWe are at the age where a lot of things that we used to think were so important don\u2019t matter anymore, and we just let a lot go,\u201d Huff said.All of the women agree that their first rule, unwritten yet strictly and collectively enforced, is the one Yerian and Huff came up with at the beginning, back in 2022: no drama. Or at least, not much. No one at The Bird\u2019s Nest \u201cgets their endorphins from stirring things up,\u201d said Huff.Staying Out of the Nursing HomeImageVegetables harvested from the community garden.ImageYerian would not attribute the founding of The Bird\u2019s Nest to any kind of \u201cvision.\u201d She is an act-first, think-later kind of person: \u201cWhen I think of \u2018vision,\u2019 I think, you have an intention. You write it down on paper.\u201d This community, she said, evolved from a group of hard-working women forced to meet a need: to live independently as long as possible with little to no financial cushion. \u201cMy goal is really to keep people out of nursing homes,\u201d she told me. A 2019 study supports her hunch: Women with more social ties have a 10 percent longer life span and 41 percent higher odds of surviving to age 85 than women with fewer ties, regardless of their demographic characteristics or health conditions.ImageCheryl Huff, watering the garden outside her home, helped come up with the motto for The Bird\u2019s Nest: no drama.ImageResidents of The Bird\u2019s Nest avoid talking about potentially divisive topics like politics. \u201cWe say we respect each other,\u201d Huff said, but \u201cit\u2019s hard.\u201dImageHuff with her dog, Lucy.Yerian did not even start putting money into a 401(k) until she was 50. She had been a young stay-at-home mother, dealing with a disastrous marriage, before taking up a job at Clorox, in Dallas, where she worked for more than 20 years. She bought a small house and earned a good living. But by age 60, she still could not comfortably retire. To preserve her independence into old age, she knew she had to reduce her expenses while also stretching her savings.As she watched an episode of \u201cTiny House Nation\u201d a decade ago, Yerian wondered whether \u201cgoing tiny,\u201d as the enthusiasts say, might address her long-term affordability problem. On impulse, she attended a tiny-home jamboree in Colorado Springs, and after touring 50 tinies in a weekend, she was sold.She bought her tiny home for $55,000 in 2017. It is customized to accommodate a full-size oven, a sleeping loft and an heirloom cabinet that holds her mother\u2019s stemware. Then Yerian bought 5.5 unincorporated acres in Hopkins County, had the property zoned as an R.V. park, installed water, electric and sewage lines and 14 10-by-30-foot concrete pads. Her vision was taking shape. She would establish herself here, earning passive income by renting plots to fellow tiny-home owners. She sold her house and cashed out her 401(k). She spent $150,000 on The Bird\u2019s Nest \u2014 everything she had.ImageTucker, one of the Earixsons\u2019 dogs.ImageKim Earixson, left, and her wife Trish. When Trish suggested to Kim that they move to the Bird\u2019s Nest from a historic town in Illinois, she said, \u201cyou\u2019re flipping crazy.\u201dThe buyer\u2019s remorse set in almost immediately. When she visited her investment, she saw a scorched piece of ground so remote she couldn\u2019t even find someone to mow it. \u201cIt would just be so overgrown and depressing,\u201d she said. If she was really honest with herself, this place \u2014 70 miles from Dallas, 20 miles from Sulphur Springs, with patchy cell service and little shade \u2014 was not anyone\u2019s retirement ideal, not even her own.But Yerian was out of options. She moved her tiny house to The Bird\u2019s Nest in late December 2021. Huff joined her, towing her own, even tinier house to Yerian\u2019s plot. Initially, they had no internet and no postal address. \u201cIt was like \u2018Little House on the Prairie.\u2019 Literally,\u201d Huff saidHow did you spend your time? I asked Huff.\u201cRobyn and I dug so many holes,\u201d she replied.Their idea was to create a sense of safety and enclosure on the land with planted barriers. They tried bamboo. They tried Sky Pencil Hollies and crepe myrtles. But \u201cgardening here is a war, not a hobby,\u201d as Huff told me; finally, they settled for a wood picket fence and stained it black. Still, no one came. Huff watched her friend grow despondent, she said. \u201cShe had a dream. And it wasn\u2019t going to be that dream. And she had to adjust.\u201d The \u201cwomen-only\u201d concept occurred to Yerian only after she hosted a women\u2019s power tools skills workshop at The Bird\u2019s Nest. Women traveled from other states and camped out in tents. \u201cWe started talking around the fire pit and, I said, \u2018What if I did this as an all women\u2019s community?\u2019 And it was unanimous: \u2018Oh my gosh, that would be awesome.\u2019\u201dThen the YouTube mini-doc series \u201cTiny Home Expedition\u201d posted a 23-minute video about The Bird\u2019s Nest. In it, Yerian gave a tour of the grounds \u2014 the storm shelter, the fire pit, Turk \u2014 talked about affordability and described The Bird\u2019s Nest as \u201ca community of women empowering women.\u201d In some shots she\u2019s wearing a \u201cPro Roe 1973\u201d T-shirt. She looked straight at the camera, her hands in her back pockets. \u201cWhen there\u2019s a bunch of women together, you laugh. You don\u2019t care what you look like. You just. Exist.\u201d Her phone started ringing.ImageDecorations inside Sherry Moore\u2019s home, left, and a view of her bathroom.ImageImageSherry Moore, who moved to The Bird\u2019s Nest in June 2024, doesn\u2019t want men in the community. \u201cIf you\u2019re dating somebody, they have a home, right?\u201d she said. \u201cYou go there.\u201dI had been pondering a question: If so many women share my retirement fantasy, why don\u2019t more people act on it? According to the AARP, more than half of Americans over 50 say they\u2019d be willing to live with a friend. But by 65, more than a quarter of American women live alone; by 75, that number is 43 percent.So I called the cohousing eminence and architect Kathryn McCamant, who has consulted on more than 50 cohousing communities. Retiring with friends is \u201calmost impossible,\u201d she said. She tried to reframe my fantasy. You don\u2019t want to retire with your existing friends, she said. Over a lifetime, these friendships grow out of sync. Friends get tied down to partners, children, parents, jobs, neighborhoods. They have different levels of financial ability and need.Far better, McCamant advised, for one or two strong-willed people to articulate a vision, then recruit other like-minded people to join them. That\u2019s a win-win, she pointed out. The old \u201cfabulous friends\u201d retain their cherished status and the new ones suit the current situation.That\u2019s what happened to Yerian. She has new \u201cinstant friends, best friends at 65,\u201d she told me. \u201cI never saw these people before in my life, and now I can\u2019t imagine them not being here every day.\u201dAt The Bird\u2019s Nest, we sat around in the kitchen in our sandals, the mood bawdy and light. Within one hour, we were talking about men. Specifically, we were talking about the group\u2019s stance on men sleeping on the property overnight. This was a women\u2019s community, but did that exclude builders and delivery workers? Sons? Ex-partners? App dates? Yerian had started pondering the question after someone asked it on The Bird\u2019s Nest Facebook page: \u201cAre male friends allowed to stay the night? What happens if someone who is settled there wants to get married?\u201dYerian had always regarded \u201cwomen only\u201d as a guideline rather than a hard-and-fast rule. They don\u2019t hate men, she repeatedly said. Many have beloved sons and grandsons. They just expect men to respect their autonomy, competence and intelligence, Yerian said \u2014 by which she means not boss them around, not instruct them in how to use power tools or balance the load in a truck. People frequently ask Yerian, \u201cHow are you going to survive without men?\u201d This rankles her. \u201cThere is no \u2018you\u2019re doing it wrong\u2019 here,\u201d she wrote on The Bird\u2019s Nest website. \u201cWe just try again until we accomplish the task.\u201dBut when she put the sex-and-dating question to the group, she was \u201cshocked,\u201d she said. In the kitchen, she hooted with laughter as she recollected the conversation they\u2019d had the night before, over cards. She is open to the notion of companionship and sex, at least occasionally, and imagined the others would be, too.But they all said no. No way. No men overnight, ever, for any reason. \u201cIf you\u2019re dating somebody, they have a home, right? You go there. If you need to get laid, go,\u201d said Sherry Moore, who moved to The Bird\u2019s Nest from Dallas in June 2024. Group laughter erupted. Huff joined in. \u201cAll our houses are on wheels,\u201d she said. If someone wants to live with a man, there are other places to go. She waved at the infinite space beyond their fence.The laughing petered out. Obviously, there are safety concerns. It would be impossible to vet every man who wanted to stay the night. But also, men change the tone. (That\u2019s what Yerian tells them when they call to inquire about living there.) When men enter a group, women stop talking intimately and about certain things, Huff said.Like what? I asked.\u201cThat you pee when you sneeze?\u201d Huff responded.The laughter in the kitchen flared again. They can talk about menopause and childbirth, they said. They can choose not to wear a bra. Moore declared that after a lifetime of relationships, she\u2019s not ruling men out, she\u2019s just not that interested. \u201cI don\u2019t need to date anymore,\u201d she said to the group. \u201cI\u2019m 65 years old and I\u2019ve had all the best sex I\u2019m going to have. It\u2019s not going to get better than that.\u201dThe Candidate InterviewImageThe women of The Bird\u2019s Nest working on mosaics to use as address numbers for their homes. They do many things together but also value their time alone.Katrina Wortham is the latest resident of The Bird\u2019s Nest. She arrived after the Fourth of July weekend after being laid off, at 61, from her job of 38 years. In 2020, she was transferred from Memphis to Dallas. Her second husband didn\u2019t move with her, and Wortham said she \u201cread the writing on the wall.\u201d They are now divorced. She had been saving for retirement since she was young and thought, \u201cI\u2019m not willing to share that with anybody at this stage in my life. I\u2019ve worked 38 years for it. It\u2019s mine.\u201dWortham was subjected to The Bird\u2019s Nest interview process, which has evolved over time into a hourslong group share. Yerian and her neighbors interview each new candidate for \u201cfit,\u201d assessing them for self-sufficiency and resourcefulness. As a community, they are interdependent, but each member stands on her own. \u201cI can\u2019t take in desperate people,\u201d Yerian told me. \u201cThat means that I\u2019ve got to fill some kind of niche for them that I\u2019m not willing to.\u201dAs Wortham was speaking to Yerian in the kitchen, she was overwhelmed to see all the other women emerging from their tiny homes, en masse, with their dogs, to join them. Number two unofficial rule at The Bird\u2019s Nest: You must like dogs.Wortham told the group how alone she had been in Dallas. \u201cI lived in that apartment for five years, and probably only met a neighbor the last year and a half,\u201d she told me by phone. So she was more than ready for \u201cthe camaraderie\u201d of The Bird\u2019s Nest, she said. She has put a deposit on a deluxe tiny home (ten feet wide, with ample custom built-ins for her crafting supplies), which will cost her $150,000, and sees it as a chance finally to get what exactly she wants in life: a brand-new, mortgage-free \u201cforever home\u201d that won\u2019t need constant maintenance and cleaning. When she told her brother about the interview experience, he warned her, \u201cWatch out, it could be a cult.\u201dThese neighbors can be chatty, and Wortham is accustomed to her solitude. So she was relieved to learn about unofficial rule number three. \u201cIf you\u2019re in your house, they leave you alone. But if you are outside, you are fair game,\u201d she reiterated. \u201cAnd it\u2019s turned out that way so far.\u201dConflict Over CatsImageTrish Earixson attaching a bird feeder to the fence at The Bird\u2019s Nest.When Trish Earixson suggested to her wife, Kim, that they move to The Bird\u2019s Nest from a historic town in northern Illinois, Kim said, \u201cyou\u2019re flipping crazy.\u201d The heat, the isolation \u2014 it all takes getting used to, as do the interpersonal dynamics.The electric front gate is a source of perpetual tension. For safety reasons, Yerian is \u201ca stickler\u201d about keeping it closed, as she put it, but each of the other residents can open it with her own clicker. When through miscommunication strangers find their way onto the property, or when the dogs are at risk of escaping, Yerian can \u201ccome unglued,\u201d as Huff said, and sensitive members of the village can feel her frustration.Recycling is a sore point \u2014 \u201cnobody wants to recycle,\u201d Yerian told me \u2014 as are the four resident cats. They must stay indoors, another unofficial rule of The Bird\u2019s Nest. Otherwise, they use people\u2019s gardens as a litter box. But as much as Yerian reminds certain cat owners of this, the cats still prowl, and other residents object \u2014 primarily Huff, the main gardener. In the past, she has confronted the offending owner, even threatening to take action against the cat.As Huff explained it in the kitchen, this is what \u201cno drama\u201d means: no whisper campaigns, no sulking or stewing. A resident with an interpersonal problem has two choices: tolerate it or address it. \u201cIf I go to somebody and say, \u2018We need to work something out so I\u2019m not upset about it,\u2019 then we will work something out. Everybody here would at least attempt to make me happy, like I would do for them, \u201d she said. The cat-owner bought a screened-in porch for her cats \u2014 a catio \u2014 and Huff was grateful for her consideration.In the kitchen, Yerian looks around at what she\u2019s built with something like joy and bewilderment. The women have prepared a medley of summer salads and homemade zucchini bread for lunch, and we are sitting with paper plates in our laps. \u201cYou\u2019ve unintentionally created an intentional community,\u201d said Kim Earixson to Yerian.In conversations after my visit, Yerian described the burden she feels. These women have moved from all over the country to settle here, and she feels responsible for their happiness.Huff and Yerian frequently discuss Yerian\u2019s role. Is she a landlord, charging $450 a month for a concrete pad, water and septic? Or is she more of a counselor, a guide \u2014 \u201ca hostess,\u201d as Huff would say. Yerian hears the logic of Huff\u2019s position: the tenants are paying for their spot and utilities, not the sense of belonging. But it\u2019s the belonging that matters to Yerian. So she makes the rounds every day, tending to everyone \u2014 to Wickham, who\u2019s more solitary, and Wortham, who\u2019s new. She surveys the crowd: Who wants to go to berry picking, to Walmart, to IHOP? Who would enjoy an aboveground pool? Where will they build the new chicken coop?Yerian sat with one leg tucked under her, her tattooed fingers around a water bottle that said \u201cLove Not War.\u201d \u201cNothing against any of you guys,\u201d she said, contemplatively, \u201cbut sometimes I think, now that it\u2019s all kind of come together, OK, now what?\u201dShe continued. \u201cAm I going to do this forever? Is this what I\u2019ve got?\u201dIn chorus the women answered, \u201cIt better be.\u201d And: \u201cYes.\u201dRead by Lisa MillerSheelagh McNeill contributed research.Audio produced by Tally Abecassis.Lisa Miller is a Times reporter who writes about the personal and cultural struggle to attain good health.Read 633 CommentsShare full articleRelated ContentAdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENT",
