Every step of construction he battled supply shortages, wrong or damaged deliveries, unexpected weather, rising prices and more than one female opinion, keeping his cool and getting it done. While there is much more work before the cottage is finished, I needed to get this journal created before any more time passes. The house is just beautiful and I'm so very grateful. I hope you enjoy the flip-through. :-)A Vintage Wedding JournalMrs Cog2023-04-29 | This is a vintage wedding theme for my friend Nery, who sent me the amazing, gorgeous trims and lace used to create it.

Heated and cooled year round, it's a little slice of heavenly tropics during the cold winter. I think the construction and improvements have become a science project for us to regulate just the right conditions on our always changing mountaintop.
Springtime is just around the corner (for many of us), hang in there. :-)

I am playing with new video software and thought you might enjoy a few bear clips. The evening /night video is super grainy, but those cubs wrestling were too adorable, so I included it. The hummingbird made it out of the greenhouse safely after an overnight and those black snakes eat mice and copperheads, so we like them. :-)

He stomps and snorts, rubbing his scent on the trees, showing off all his mightiness. He stops to make sure he is stomping in his own footprints, leaving Bigfoot-like depressions in the yard (which are still there a month later). Finally they leave together for a proper date. :-)
