Moving into our new house -- and anticipating a disrupting remodel -- We decorated with a hodgepodge of furnishings and decor. This seascape was painted by my mother, Jeannette and was unpacked early on. So up on the wall it went. Meanwhile we do without plenty of belongings in boxes and use boxes as tables.
Living in what is probably the narrowest gap in the valley is a mixed blessing. The sun disappearing behind the granite ridge next to the house is great in summer -- just right when heat is highest but too soon in winter.
We left our old chicken coop in Portland, planning to build one when we arrived. We bought a shed kit, thinking it would go faster but we (I) had so many alterations for it that it took way too long. B constructed it on a platform our first winter, then we bought a flatbed trailer to move into the lower pasture. It got a customized paint job along the way!
