Keeping warm

Over the weekend we worked hard in the woods making a path on the right side of the property. First M had to saw a huge tree that was lying across the path to be. By doing this a whole new part of our property was now accessible. It took us a while before we were able to take a walk without having encounters with branches all the time. We also made a wall of wood deviding our property with the road. And we disovered the Carrington-Johnson cemetery that is on our property! We were already looking for it, and now we found it! It is, like the rest, overgrown with bushes and trees. Because the cemetery is owned by the Carrington family we are not going to clean up. Or maybe only after we are finished with the rest. 
Today we are working at the back of the house again. Because we haven't seen the contractor since last Friday when he poured the concrete, we  are not in his way.

It is cold, freezing during nights, and by working outside we keep warm. Luckily last night we were invited again by Patty and Brad so we were able to get really warm. We had of course a great dinner, Pot Roast with again a delicious desert. We had a lot of fun.

      Zie de link hieronder. Vaak is het overigens alleen een gedenksteen. Het betreft de familie Carrington die rond 1836 hier een tabaksplantage begonnen. Vader Tucker, moeder en 8 dochters. Vier dochters bleven hier wonen en stichtten een school voor meisjes. Vandaar dat wij de b&b ook Sunnyside Sisters hebben genoemd. Ik vermoed dat deze dochters ook hier echt begraven liggen en de rest een gedenksteen hebben.
