Got some new tenants

Four pretty light blue eggs about two weeks ago.
















All four hatched.

Been waiting a while to see this one!

 Finally talked to the right person and got permission to stop and take some photos of this wonderful old barn.
Well over a hundred years old.
Used by the same family for several generations.

While I was hoping it was an old log barn, it did not turn out to be.

 But that doesn't mean there weren't some really cool features.

Look at the rafter work in the barn roof!

 The roof shape is not original. As the barn grew, so did the roof.

 The main part of the house is suppose to be log.

 While the barn turned out to be frame, most of the verticals were hewn logs, as you can see here on the sill logs. . .

 . . . and here on the wall logs.

The boards were a mixture of circular and band sawed wood.

 Also got out to the cabin today.

 I guess we did a pretty good job on the Adirondack shelter because it has taken up a long term resident.

Look at the back roof lower corner.

 Can ya see it.

 There, now can ya.

 Robin eggs.

And if you look real close you can see mom.

Remembered from a long time ago.

 First saw this little gem almost 40 years ago.
It was located on some property near my Log Mentors lake.
We would pass it on our way to the little pond he had.

 I don't think it sits on its original site. However, it has been where it is at for a while.

Still save-able, but would need to be quick.
The bottom logs are shot.

It has never been chinked on this site.
But at one time wide boards have been put over the gaps.

A story and a half.
You can see the second floor logs above the door.
