he would be moving to Wisconsin (Go Birds)
Fall colors in the side yard, behind the grape vines
and the wildfolwer field
Here is the view to the left in the back yard
This view is slightly to the right of the one above, in the winter
Here is the same view from the deck early in the morning
as the sun is rising over the bluffs
This picture is taken looking back up at the house from the area
pictured above. The right side of the house is the bedrooms
over top of a large finished basement area and the left side, behind
the deck, is the hot tub room
Stepping up the long steps onto the deck and looking to the right
Looking back the other way
Peeking in at the hot tub room at night
Jeff with a pork loin spinning on the rotisserie at night
Looking back up at the house in the winter
before the deck was built
This picture was taken from the "deck area" looking back
and to the right toward a trail into the woods
This photo was taken from the driveway, looking along
the side of the living room from the front of the house
The living room is coming together nicely but we don't know
what to do with the old floral couch in the near left corner
Are you ready for some football? 51" of HD fun!
The dining room
The master bedroom with the side window
looking out toward the deck
Jeff has always wanted a game room with a pool table. Foosball
and darts (180 degrees back from this view) are fun too
The gun closet in the main game room is now a bar
The other finished room in the basement is for air hockey
Looking to the far side of the driveway is the shed
Inside the shed is very roomy, even with the John Deere in place
Looking down the driveway toward the road. The driveway for
the new house is off to the left, into the woods somewhere
after the second small bend
The same view in the winter
Looking back up the driveway toward the house in winter,
The road is about 400 feet back the other way
This is a blurry picture of a photograph coming up the driveway
in Spring, when the apple blossoms are in full force
To the right of the shed is the "Midwest Woodpile" with enough
wood to heat an East Coast city, or one Wisconsin home for a Winter
Melisa took this picture of Carl and Jeff loading firewood onto
the front end loader of the 1949 John Deere "B" farm tractor
Carl and Melisa moving wood to the Garage
To the right of the woodpile, and back toward the house, is this
1851 schoolhouse. Needs some paint but it is structurally
sound. This was on the Spring 2005 "to do" list! Maybe in '06? :-)
(Click on the schoolhouse for more information)
Turning further to the right the we see the garage and car port area
After walking around the garage, this picture shows the vineyard
(i.e. a couple grape vines) in front of a field of wildflowers
Shown in the winter, the beginnings of a Christmas Tree Farm in the yard
Really, it isn't cold, trust me!
This is the view from one of the bluffs surrounding town, looking
out over the Wisconsin River in the distance.
Here we are hiking the cliffs over Devil's Lake, looking
back toward our home. The property
is on the horizon to the left, under the tree limb.
Here is a view of Devil's Lake, looking down through the trees.
