Unique Staircase

Our staircase is almost complete thanks to the creative efforts of our neighbor Wilmer Schrock. He handcrafted the splitlog staircase, character logs and railings.

The Last Winter Storm of the Season?


It was beautiful to wake up this morning to several inches of fresh snow. As pretty as it was, we're hoping it's the last snowfall of the year! Especially since April is just 2 days away!!

New Residents in Pike County

Meet our new 'mousers'... above is Midnight and below is Rowdy. These two guys are the latest addition to the farm and we're hoping they can help us control the mouse population.
In other news, this weekend Sparky and his brother-in-law Jason came down to hook us up with tv, internet and phone.


While Sparky and Jason were struggling thru the miles of CAT6 wires, Durrell struggled with wires of his own in the craft room. Thanks D for getting me lit up with my new florescent lights!
