Our home, Swan Pond Farm

oldhome2002
The house was built in 1801 as a two-story log cabin, and then was "modernized" in the 1920-era with white clapboard siding, a kitchen and bathroom where the back porch had been, and an addition of both an upstairs and downstairs space, symmetrical around the once-side, now-central chimney. The roof is still tin, making a lovely sound when it rains. The white oak tree in the front is estimated to be around 350 years old. Boxwoods, hosta, iris and daylilies make up most of the gardens.

I enjoyed visiting your blog and very much enjoyed your photos. You have a very refreshing attitude towards sharing your photographs, explaining how to capture a photograph with out concern over copyrights! It does not surprise me considering your references to your child? who attends Montessori and worked with the Quakers. May your cup always be full!
