The gates, all decorated for the holidays, make a grand entrance to Willow Pond Farm.
Welcome
to Willow Pond Farm!
Driving
up to the house
Memere
Paillard's rocker has a new home on the front porch
Susan,
Gene and Granddad enjoy the sitting area between the dining room and kitchen
Muffin
is in her glory with so much to see
and so many great places to sleep
Mudroom
and door to back deck where Granddad catches his rays on sunny days
Gene
stoking the Vermont Casting Stove
in the family room
Granddad
and Muffin relaxing by the sunny family room window
Now
Susan has her gas stove back so there's no excuse not to cook for Gene and
Granddad!
Dining
room area by the front door
:-)
That's
a joke, Sue!
Upstairs,
looking out of the master bedroom door, across the loft to the guest bedroom
(a.k.a. Nancy & Larry's room)
FROSTY
morning at Willow Pond Farm! This is looking out from the front porch over the
fields
Susan
and Larry show off their pearly whites while standing at the gates to the
property
The
greenhouse is visible towards the end of the driveway.
View
of the house and fields from the roadside. We spotted a BIG bull moose crossing
this field on November 1st late in the afternoon!
A
view of the mountains and hills from the road in front of
Potter Farm, around the corner from Susan & Gene's
The greenhouse is in need of prep work
before it's ready for spring planting...
that's on Susan and Gene's 'to do' list.
Below, the barn houses the heavy equipment, and is awaiting windows and cupola.
The photo to the right shows the toolshed and greenhouse.
The fish for the baithouse live in the pond (see photos below) and can be brought into the house through piping. Susan & Gene plan to get this self-service baithouse up and running again.
When Gene ponders the meaning of life after a hard day of skiing, he strolls through the Zen Garden to become centered and grounded once more.
The
carport and the future guesthouse.
And
if Gene wants to have a tea party, well, he just has to go into the backyard
to his very own playhouse.
Or doghouse, depending on Susan. :-)
