April 2, 2011 Barn wood reclaimed




Dan did an amazing thing over the winter. He stripped wood off the milking barn, rinsed it clean at a car wash, measured, cut and nailed it to the wall as a natural wainscotting. He also attached the tin roof to both sides of the front door. Both are wonderful accents that add character, interest and history to the new lodge interior. What a wonderful surprise after our winter away!





In early April, spring is still on its way. The trees are bare, the grass is dead












and water is overflowing in the usually dry areas. The island is truly an island!
