Here we go!

Well, we are on our way - the land has been purchased, the design is decided upon, the issuing of the building permit is underway (hopefully, we'll have it soon). Meanwhile, I thought I'd post some of the photos of the property we bought.

These photos are from January when the leaves were off the trees.

You can see a glimpse of the river in the next photo (right in the center of the photo, behind the base of the trees).



There are 2 ponds on the property, shown above. At the moment the ponds are green and scuzzy - anyone have any ideas how to get rid of the scum? We saw 1000s of tadpoles in one of the ponds in May. Supposedly, there are koi in at least one of the ponds, but we have yet to see any.


More later!
