Ms. Nettie and I were at the cabin last week. There were a number of firsts in a couple of days. It was the first night Ms. Nettie spent at the cabin. The beds consist of an old frame with a piece of 3/4 inch plywood and a very old mattress inside a plastic mattress bag. Sleeping is done in a sleeping bag, thus eliminating the need for sheets and blankets. She said it was the best night's sleep she's had in weeks! With no Moon it's very dark there in the hills and the silence is defining!! The very definition of "getting away from it all".
In the morning we had our first cooked breakfast, bacon and eggs, of course (how cool is that?). Later that morning the chimney guy came and was able to repair the thimble between the stove and chimney so the new stove can be used.
We are beginning to put our own touches on the place, making it "ours".

Stay tuned!

Cabin update and Bradford Co. weather.
Well, it was time to start clean-up and to do some electrical work at our cabin. After three days the cabin is now usable, although much remains to be done.
It's amazing how the weather only 120 miles north varies from here in Lebanon County. The days are almost as warm, but the nights are a good deal cooler. A good window fan is all that's needed most of the time to keep the cabin comfortable, or even down right cool at night.
While exploring the surrounding woods I found several large piles of bear scat. This answers the question once and for all about bears and body functions in the woods...well you know, they do. On Sunday evening a large black bear (Ursus americanus) walked across the side and front yards.
There are pictures, but to avoid unnecessary band with here I have posted them on my web site. Check them out at:
