A new addition to the inside is the pergola. Always a part of Loren's vision for the house, it is made of the black walnut he harvested from the old farm site when he had to move. It is suspended from the ceiling, and rests on the wall of that marks off the kitchen from the entry. There was going to be a pantry there, but right now it houses a buffet that is so pretty, it may stay that way.
Along the wall of that entry way under the pergola is a bench made from pieces of Loren's favorite tree, the old birch tree, that Carrie rescued from the old farm site. You can see that the support piece still has the bark on it. Lining the wall opposite the bench are sections from a branch from that same birch tree.
These slabs from one of the branches have been sanded to show the grain and mounted to line the wall of the entry. When I walk in, I always touch them.
Here is a sunset looking west past the barn.
and this is what the place was looking like before the snow.
