Second level floor

Work on the house slowed down after the framing party.  Chris was working a lot, and there were other things to be done to prepare the homestead for winter.  But Chris still managed to get the floor joists up on the second level.

Floor joists finished.  Note the beautiful red of the sumac trees

Bare sumac trees and plywood floors in place.  The gap is where the stairs will be

The walls that separate the laundry room/mud room, bathroom, and master bedroom

The posts and beam in the wall of the master bedroom

Its getting icy at night

The tamarack that surround our garden clearing are turning yellow

Molly napping in the leaves in front of the wood that will become the roof trusses

Sleeping kittens getting bigger and bigger

And here is Amelia, errrr, Emil, the rooster.  He's a pretty boy and is a good protector

Our first egg from this year's chicks.  Turns out our Easter egger Breech lays green eggs!  Now we're getting tiny eggs from all 6 of the hens that we hatched

We have magnificent sunsets
