Cupola Repair Continues




A picture is worth a thousand words, but a vintage cupola is worth a lot more! The neighbor across the street says she is keeping an eye on the activity, and it has been very entertaining indeed! What she doesn't see, is the beginning of demolition inside. Walls that are not original to the Barn are being removed in the West wing.

Woman's Work


Our Foundation President, Jane McDonald, has vowed to clean up around here! Leaky toilets don't scare our fearless leader. What death-defying task awaits around the next cupola...

Quiet Summer



You can almost hear the cow tails swishing off the flies.
Most days around the barn are pretty quiet, while our architect, John Grier, is completing construction drawings. In the meantime, restoration of the cupolas is being done. We are looking forward to the return of the charming cupolas, and symbolic weathervane of a woman shooing chickens with her apron.
