It's been a while, but I have not been lazy. . . .

Been awhile again.

It has been a really  pretty fall and early winter at the cabin this year.

Spent a lot of time out there recently.

Yesterday I framed the outdoor shower and hope to get it done soon.

Early fall finished the new outhouse (composting).

 

Colors, they are a changin'

 

While the colors are not quite at there peak, this beautiful sulfur shelf mushroom comes back every couple of years.

And it is right near the cabin.

Fall colors sitting spot.

Stove is ready for the next chilly day.

Colors have started, however.

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.
