     Here’s our Chicken Coop.  Don’t let the lights on the exterior fool you.  It no longer has any electricity running to it, nor does it have running water.  It’s also a dirt bottom floor, but no worries though, we keep the litter building up in winter so it releases some heat as it decomposes.  In the summer I dig it up and place it in our garden.  As far as I’m concerned,  having a dirt floor is the way to go! 

One day we hope to run an new electrical line and water, but that day is not yet in the foreseeable future.  (FYI:  I added the Dutch Doors to the right and plan on doing to same to the other door.  

Chicken Coop in Winter

     Whenever we get a chance, we love driving out to Cold Hollow Cider Mill to enjoy the scenery as well as their delicious cider.  And yes, you can’t help but to check out Ben & Jerry’s too!

Beautiful Vermont Scenery

     Here’s a unique structure standing alongside route 128 in Westford.  It was built in 1822 as a Baptist Church, and is located next to the Historic Westford General Store.  In 1994, the Brick Meeting House Society was formed to try and restore the building as a town landmark and community center.  It is a “work in progress”, and any contributions would be greatly appreciated.  If interested, funds may be sent directly to the Brick Meeting House Society of Westford, P.O. Box 201, Westford, VT 05494-0201.

Here’s Mr. T-Bone, Ellie Mae and Jubal hanging out behind the chicken coop on a crisp but sunny winter’s day. You can barely make out our Tom Turkey and Goose around the corner.

  The wooden structure in the background is our Lean-To.  Both the Lean-To and the Chicken Coop were built by the previous owners, and are composed of real cedar boards.  The Lean-To, however, is in questionable shape since the roof has blown off several times and the structural support is partially rotten.  Building a  larger Barn is not in our foreseeable future, so we will have to make do with what we have. 

Our Livestock

Early Spring vs Winter Views

I began with a Toro 16HP Wheel-horse, a nice little garden tractor but totally lacking a 3pt hitch.  I have since purchased a 1952 Ford 8N 27hp w/a 3pt hitch.  A lovely old lady, needs some work but will last a lifetime if properly taken care of.
