Summer Winds Fox Trotter Farm
Established 9/11/2005
So many have asked to be kept updated on the progression of our *homestead* adventure
so i'm putting together this webpage to make it easier. I hope you enjoy watching our
home grow as much as we are! All photos are thumbnails and will enlarge if clicked on.
No story is complete without
the beginning. This picture
was taking at Hawthorne
Ranch a few weeks after we
met. This is where the horse
bug really bit Den hard ! From
there our herd grew from one
to its current level of 17 with 2
more due soon!
Breaking ground for the cabin
started on August 7th, 2005.
Den got 4 big holes dug in the
100+ heat and i got covered in
chigger bites! We're off to a
great start! :)
When the cabin is built this
will be the view from my
back deck.
And this will be the view out
my front window and on my
front porch! Watching the foals
play under my favorite tree is
liable to be addictive! Thats
Breezy at the fence nickering
at me to come play lol.
Finally on 8/20/2005 I got to see some wood go on! By the end of the day the
deck was framed and ready to be braced and sheeted!
And now we have walls and a roof!
