October 2011

A few updates to share!  We've been in the house for just over two years now and are for the most part happy as clams with it!  And if there are parts we wish we'd done differently, we have only ourselves to blame!

Over the course of the last year, we have added a silo stave brick patio, a partial paver walkway, an erstwhile pond, a staircase to the roof complete with artwork, a Whistlepig workshop, and a scrounged up but beautiful wood shed.  Two years out from beginning treatment for lymphoma, I am healthy and happy to have recently had my chemo port removed!  We are also both happy and sad to report that the farmhouse is scheduled to be a practice fire for the fire department next spring.  I am in the process of making a photo collage in our hallway that shows several views of the farmhouse in its better days.  Other than that, we're battening down the hatches for winter!
