My O'Wich Journal

March 17, 2007

We took a day trip up to the house Saturday morning, after work. We left at 7:45 a.m. and I was in bed by 4:15 p.m. What a drive! The only thing that makes a day trip difficult is working the night before and the night of! But it was a beautiful, sunny, warm day and that made it perfect!

What a difference a week makes. The entire area was covered in snow and the river was frozen. Now the river current is moving and it is pretty deep. Can't see a sand bar anywhere! The majority of the snow is gone - except for the low areas of the property.

WARNING: DON'T EAT ORANGE SNOW! At the left is the location for the shed that we desperately need. We hope to build it - soon! At the right is the location for the new propane tank. We're getting a bigger one and getting it away from the house. The stairs you see lead to the outhouse, which I still haven't seen the inside of yet!

And here is my bears "In The Woods" rendering! We don't have bears - that I know of!

Snow all over the front of the house!

(below) The road heading away from the cabin. The road has about 1 foot of packed snow on it.

(right) The road that appears straight ahead is actually the right fork of the road when on the way in...good thing the cabin isn't down that road!

(below) The house of a neighbor at the end of the private road and the county highway. I just love this view!

I've been working on the bathroom. At the left is the big mess. At the right, I've already painted, added the trim and added a pine cone switchplate cover. The tile goes up in April!

While outside, the snow was very deep. This was from the previous week. At the left is a donkey cart that is about 24" at the top of his hat. On the right, the snow is up to the seat bottom of the swing!
