Still Life With Blizzard


Pete the intrepid photographer went slipping around the back roads today before the blizzard got too bad (we are expecting 24-48 inches plus high winds) and took some great photos of the ‘hood, and of Barney’s cabin.

Here’s what you see on the road just south of the cabin.  This farm is over 1,000 acres and picturesque from any angle.  The main house is on this road, though, and the Scottish longhairs or whatever they’re called always hang out close to the family manse.

And to the north we have the reservoir, no longer used by maintained by the state for boating and fishing as part of the state forest.




 And here’s Barney’s cabin with a WINDOW in it!  Knock me over with a feather!!!  Loft!  Loft!  Loft!  Loft!



Pete is not amused with the speed of renovations, but it is almost a completely protected structure now so that’s a big step.  When it stops snowing I will venture up there to see what’s what.  Hopefully the roof will hold out!  (It should—Ev has built it to withstand the Spanish Armada . . . )
