Trim and doors!

It’s beginning to feel like home. The knotty alder doors and trim are beautiful. The builder has done an impeccable job. The first picture is from a couple of weeks ago. There was still paper on the floor and sawdust everywhere. The other two photos were from today. The saw dust is gone and the paper has been removed. Todd, our builder, always cleans as he goes. It is obvious he takes a great deal of pride in his work.

The yard work has not begun, other than mowing. We are very grateful to have had a man contact us and attack that part of it! It was way past due. We have begun cleaning out this old shed. It will remain as a place to investigate and image what came before. I wonder how long the holly hocks have been here. We are waiting to really attack the foliage to give it a chance to show us what it has to offer. We have seen lilacs, red buds, four oclocks and daffodils. This yard was once loved and cared for. We hope for it to be loved again one day soon. Bessie’s Inn sits on two thirds of an acre, right in town. The woods above the Inn need attention. As time allows we will forge paths making it possible to walk up there in summer months. Meanwhile, a nicely mowed yard and two front porches will make this a stay conducive to being outside.
