In 2003 we bought 58.92 acres on a hillside in Julian, Pa. We call it our Barony and this is its unfolding chronicle. Construction of Phase I (Carriage House) ended in 2004; Phase II (Main House) ended in 2010. Phase III is never ending. Visitors to our tale are invited to leave a comment.

Midyear view from Skytop
The fruit trees are big enough to see from across the valley. The walking track is not visible behind the tall grass in the rest of the meadow.
Our walnut grove barely makes it into the picture behind the tree in the foreground on the left side.
We harvested the first (4) potatoes. The potato bug had pretty well demolished the plant so it seems a good time to harvest. The potatoes were small but tender and tasty. The delicate skin puckered right off after the boil.
Gambol found a nest of indigo buntings with 3 quarter-sized babies in a caged mountain ash in the meadow. He said they were a good breakfast snack. I have to learn when he points to have him hold until I check it out.
The video assignment was a 2 min. interview but I couldn't get organized when I had help around so I was left to my own devices. I guess I get points for creativity.
