I'll skip the typical "I can't believe it's been so long since I've posted" line that so many of us bloggers find ourselves repeating time and again. It was a nutty summer, a busy Fall, and now we're moving into winter. I'll try to catch up with summer stories during the long winter months.

 

But for now . . . a look at our exansion. It's coming along and will be finished in time for the first real snow!

Review (what the barn looked like):

And now . . .

That was two weekends ago--since this photo, the front has been copletely covered with plywood, but the pine tree is still laying there. The other two trees will be coming inside for us to use as Christmas trees next month.

The best part about the barn is the house door to get in. It opens directly into the animals' bedding area. So when I go out to the barn for feeding/chores, this is what I see.

Starr welcoming me into her house! It's hilarious. And she loves looking out the door to see what's going on.

The inside of the barn still has an open back wall. For this winter, we're just going to put up heavy insulation lining back there because in the spring, we'll be expanding further down again. It was silly to put up a wall just to knock it back down.
