Our Beautiful Home...

The cabin on the left was built in the 1800s and the one on the right was built in the 1790s. The one on the right is the original home on this property. A little ways down there used to be an Indian village 500+ years ago. This area is just a few miles north of the Mason-Dixon line, and was a haven for Indian-settler battles back in the 1700s as well as troop movements during the War For Independence. It is not uncommon to dig in our yard and find pieces of pottery or basic tools and items like old horseshoes. It seems that people buried their refuse since there weren't any city dumps or trash collections. Another plus is that you can still find old arrowheads if you're looking. I haven't found any yet, but I will at some point.

Back to the cabins. We basically live in the one on the right and our kitchen/dining area is in the left cabin. It's great, peaceful, and for some reason I've been compelled to read more than ever!

This pond is just a little past our porch and makes for a nice view out the bedroom window.
We pretty much see this doe everyday. Now she's bringing a "friend" with her; a nice 6 point buck, who looks pretty young. If he's left alone for a year or two, he will be a trophy.

Our turtle, Brooks is finally in his bigger tank. Soon, he will have a girlfriend to share it with.


I may post more pics at a later date.
