Introducing the Trapper

When this land was first purchased, it was bare.

No buildings.  Nada.

But through the past decade, life has sprung forth. 

Cabin, Old Mill/New Mill, Barn, Bunk House, Bear's Den, the list goes on...

We have several little unique buildings here on our "40".

This one is called the Trapper.

Built by Russ, using our trees.

Just because...

I love the unique door.

Made with love, by loving hands.

Hands that connect with wood.

It's a joyful place to linger, rest or read.

A peep hole (handcrafted by friend and woodmaster Danny Dann) to the surrounding forest.

We love what the trees provide for us.

Lumber, syrup, shade, warmth, wisdom.

Until tomorrow, God willing.



Four Seasons

It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.

Robert Louis Stevenson

As the weather forecasters predict high temps...I take to the woods,

and dream of my favorite time of year.

Where colors soothe the soul.

Overhead...

and under foot.

Until tomorrow ~ God willing,
