I recently realized that I haven't posted a picture of the finished bridge for those of you who haven't made it out yet this summer. We are still hoping to put some finishing touches on it to pretty it up some, but it is a good sturdy bridge that has been working well for us. Bridge over the Swan Creek Bridges are a way of getting from one place to another, and are ...
Dan and Brennah have been working on getting the new bridge built and in place. The planks are being put on today, and the new bridge is going to be a little wider than the last one. 👏 It should be done soon! https://youtube.com/shorts/EBaIDf4Hyf4?feature=share Woohoo!! 🎉 🎉 I will be sending out the announcement for our Beltaine event soon, so stay tuned for that! And thank you all for your support! Jean and crew

Though the Cavanaughs have been pulling trash out of that area continuously since moving to the property, it has been a huge project. And it mainly needs to be done in the early spring, after the snow melts, but before everything gets covered by the understory plant growth. So it was ...
Trail to the Pond Site by Brennah Cavanaugh Photography LLCThe snow storm we had earlier this month left the shrubs and plants so weighed down that some of the trails became almost impassable.
