May 20th....
I mentioned to a friend of mine recently how messy and "junk-y" it looks and feels around our property right now.
She quoted one of her husband's favorite sayings, "You've gotta scramble a few eggs before you can make an omlette." 😎
Wise Words! So true!
And, Don went back to the drawing board...
Why? The location of our well is a challenge, but we really don't want to drill another! Fortunately, however, Don came up with a solution...we're going back to the cape cod idea, in which the girls' bedrooms and bathroom will be upstairs, then the garage will become part of the existing foundation.
Isaac took the bit for the first time, and Rosie began long-lining him last week...

There is so much natural beauty around here; makes this few months of discomfort worth it, when we take the time to look around...
Yes, the neighborhood peacock is visiting more and more for some reason!
And, we have a turkey comin' round, too! (Hmmm, I do plan to host Thankgiving dinner this year...😉)
And, the deer! Some evenings we see five or six doe in our pasture, plus we have three fawn on the property, whom I've yet to capture with my camera. And, there are two buck whom we see periodically (I shared a pic of them in one of last month's post.)
A neighbor told us that the previous residents haven't allowed anyone to hunt on the property for a number of years, so the deer population has really exploded around here, as of late...
.
..According to Don and Rosie, "We really need to thin the herd this fall." This is true. We want to keep our little ecosystem healthy 'round here. I'm quite sure we'll have some venison in the freezer this winter.
Hope you enjoyed my little pictorial. Now, I really aught to focus on reviewing for my PA cos exam (I'm taking it July 13th!)...Check in next week - hopefully, I'll have more news on the RE-construction part of this project, and maybe some pretty pics from a hike...

I think that Don's solution to include the garage in the original foot print of the house is a good one! And he was considering a loft anyway, so the girls rooms and a bathroom upstairs will work great. One day your grandkids can sleep over up there! :)
ReplyDeleteSo true! I think the girls will enjoy having their own space upstairs, too. So good to chat with you today!
