Summer

The cabin faces west and on a summer evening you won't find a better place to eat your ice cream than on the front porch.













We gave the hammock to Whitney as a birthday present and it took me a year to find a good place to hang it. (Well, I was busy building the cabin, so give me a break...) I don't even mind the septic tank lid as a footstool.








This is where we eat our meals... I could be eating the dog's food and not know it when looking out at this view.







Susan has worked hard on building a little stone wall (well... rock pile really, and I helped) along the edge of the "yard" before it drops off the side of the mountain. Our $5 yard sale chairs look inviting - especially when we are toting rocks and working like slaves. Maybe one day she will let me take a break and sit in one.
What do you do with many huge boulders left laying around after our well-driller excavated to get a flat place for his rig? Make a rock garden, of course. We found some half-price plants at Lowe's and moved a bunch of dirt around, and if the deer don't like what we planted - we may have a decent garden one day.







The screened porch is where we usually end up. It is like living in a treehouse. Without the bugs.
