Pardon Our Dust!

Excuse our construction as we have a gas line installed! We've wanted this for a long time and are excited that it is finally happening. This will allow us to have a gas fireplace, which will be much easier than having to build wood fires for warmth during events in colder seasons, as much as we loved those, too! Additionally, we will be able to buy a gas range for the kitchen eventually, which will be more authentic to the period of the farmhouse. And the gas line will come in handy for the future barn as well! Thanks to Park and Rec (shout out to Todd) and PG&E for their hard work on this project. Once this project is finished, in early September, we will move on to the next project -- putting in beautiful brick pathways in front of and next to the house. We'll keep you posted!

Nature's Body workshop is beautiful, naturally!

On August 9, Denise Koroslev taught participants how to make their own facial beauty products using natural, non-toxic ingredients often already in the home, such as flower petals, herbs, teas, beeswax, lemon, and various oils, to name a few! Ladies came with friends for a "girls' night out" and relaxed both outside and inside our rustic "spa" setting. Everyone enjoyed floral facials, munching on snacks, learning how to make home recipes, and taking home samples of lip balm and hand cream.                                                                                    Photos by Alison Clary
