This is the original log cabin that was built on the property. At one time, a friend of Jon's father had plans to deconstruct it and rebuild it on his property. His numbering system didn't work and he wasn't able to keep track of the pieces, thus the pile of logs we eventually used to build a makeshift enclosure for the dogs.
The dogs quickly learned to jump over our little fence, so in part that was a wasted effort although the logs needed to be moved anyway. Good thing there is a larger fenced area of several acres to keep the dogs somewhat contained.
The log cabin is small, and in later years was re-purposed as a pig sty. Literally. Nowadays, the roof needs alot of work and there are inches, perhaps feet, of old manure inside. There are no plans to do anything with it; for now it is just a historic novelty.

perhaps you could raise the roof, plant a beanstalk and climb your way to the sky. with all that manure i feel certain your garden would be gigantuan! fyi...picked our first sungolds this morning! :)
That must be where I'm sleeping next weekend...
LOL, Mike! I hadn't thought of that...
You guys are working so hard. I am excited to see all the changes and will probably be sad to some of them as well. I am sure our apple tree horse is gone by now. It was a bowed branch in the orchard that we could actually reach when we were little and called our "horse". And the mulberry tree . . . Hope that made it through the years.
You guys are doing an awesome job! Keep it up!!!
Leah,
Thanks for the encouragement. Sadly,I haven't seen hide or hair of a mulberry tree but I am excited now to know that they can survive out there. We had one in Raleigh and I used to make some fabulous strawberry-mulberry jam!
