The well

I found the well this morning when I went over to the property. The former owner had indicated about where it was. With that information, I found it. The cover that it's under is a sheet of plate steel. I'll need some help to lift it and get a better look at it.

The wider view of where it is, between the cedar and the big maple(?) I think it's a maple, but want some leaves on it to be sure.

The house will be here, about 100-125 feet off the road. This view is to the east, and it will probably be the back yard.

It's ours now

Heather out on the lot with me, checking out the place a couple days ago. It's covered in snow now.

This is the back corner. It's going to be a little more difficult to get fenced so the horses don't fall down the drop-off on the right side where the creek goes through. We'll still give them access to the creek for water, though.

Eventually home

This will be our new home, after some changes are made. Right now it is just a 3.3 acre lot. We are scheduled to close on it Saturday afternoon. It's on Stulltown Road, but I'm not sure what town it is part of. The mailing address is Owensville, I'm told.












The view from the back corner towards the front corner. This would be from the north-east to south-west. If I had taken a couple more steps backward, I would have fallen in the creek. It looks like it runs all year, or at least almost all year.

The barn needs some work and cleaning out, but it should stand for a few more years. The horses and rabbits should be happy here.

Storage rooms and Christmas

We started pulling stuff out of the old storage room.












Transporting it all over to the new rooms
(thanks to Lisa and Jim for letting me use their utility trailer)

And stacking it all in there. I now have 2 storage rooms, but they are closer to where we live and the two rooms are saving me over $30 a month.

Allen in the new suit he got for Christmas. Sharp!!

More Snow

We got 4" yesterday and another 2" today. A lot of it melted on the ground, but it's still white everywhere. This is the end of Donaldson Rd between Winchester and Mt. Sterling.

Snow

We got our first snow of the year this morning. I'm not sure exactly when, but there wasn't any last night when I came home.

I like having all 4 seasons.

Thanksgiving is Special

Mom with Natalie.













Cathryn with her kids and her GRANDCHILDREN













Boo and Marianne. Barry was there, too. He was just harder to get a picture of.

Most of us made it for Thanksgiving this year.
