Welcome to Ciderbrook

It's been 19 days since I last posted, and a lot has happened here at Ciderbrook.  For one thing, I have my desk and my computer set up!  We have moved all of the chaotic piles of furniture out of the middle of the floor, and set up some basic living areas around the house.  (You'll have to excuse the messes everywhere.  We're doing the best we can right now.) (Click on images to make them bigger)  Coming into the house from the front door, you'll see the dining table , the hutch, a bookcase, and a desk.  Also a giant pile of empty totes waiting to go back to our old house.

 I’m tired you guys. We’re getting ready for the movers to bring our big furniture in two days, and we have been hustling. When we have any down time at all, we are enjoying doing country stuff. Stacking, splitting, and burning wood, going for walks on our country road and hikes up in our hills, and just chilling by the big window to watch the hills change with the season.  We are going to stay home next week to get the furniture and things put into some kind of order, before going back to packing at the other house.
