Winter is coming... again

I have received a number of emails asking for blog updates. It feels like not much has been done on the project since I have posted last, particularly since we know that actual ground breaking for the house won't occur until next May. That being said there have been some nice developments with the project and we have had some great visits from our friends and family. Here are a few pictures from the two most recent visits (Skip and Justine for a weekend of hiking and Sam for an extended weekend of backpacking and homemade ravioli making).




We also found a young porcupine living underneath our bush hog (giant mower towed behind a tractor) but we can't seem to find the pictures of him or our wildly successful effort to transplant him (no seriously we trapped him in a rubbermaid bin and Lorien took him 5 miles away!)
