In addition to 'the big house' as it is affectionately known and where Bill and Jane still reside, is a multi-purpose dwelling that looks suspiciously like a barn. This is where Nan and Tom and their collection of animals live, work and play. The last physical structure, simple in its design but true to its roots, is the well-house. A mixture of maple,hawthorne,cherry and the occasional elm tree, along with a substantial scrub of dogwood, provide the background landscape. There are numerous walking and riding paths through these woods from which to see nature at her finest.
Local fauna includes rabbits, deer, racoons and squirrels.
Jane is an avid bird watcher and has seen the variety of birds that flock to her feeders steadily increase over the years. Baltimore Orioles and Evening Grosbeaks have joined the more frequently sighted jays, cardinals and finches. A Sawhet owl even made a brief appearance on the front porch railing earlier this spring. Just a small creature, he didn't mind the people or the dogs but as soon as Winston came into the picture he was gone. I can clear that up for you.
