ND Rural Cabin Life

Attempting to make a joyous retreat away from the crazy world

North Dakota weather. Changes happen quickly! This is why we have trust issues. 😅

Fall mornings be like…

Great time during the deep heat of summer when the “Salt Cedar” blooms its pink beauty.

The last hurrah before the frost.

Sad day. We lost three Aspen tress with the wind today.

I love this time of year.

Early morning.

Today we started a long overdue project to stabilize the arched solarium windows. There was so much rot! Ugh. Slowly but surely we made progress, cutting away the rotted pieces and filling the holes. These windows were salvaged and they are extremely old. What’s more, the frames are embedded behind the cement mortar making getting new windows a very expensive job. In the future maybe we’ll replace them but for now we have to halt the water from getting in. They are in a scary condition, but looking better. Now to wait for the plastic wood to set. Tomorrow is day 2 - onwards.

A-frame exterior renovation almost complete.

I love the closed feel of this setting.

Garden projects. Wire arbor with late summer Virginia Creeper. Sun deck with early morning light. Gazing wall built with an old metal storm water manhole cover opening.

Quiet corner bubbles.

Another good morning. It feels and looks like it will be a warm one today.
