Stone Table Farm

Change is the law of life.
And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.
John F. Kennedy

Time to close this blog.....

Don't cry.  Our life, your life, everyone's life goes on.

As we journey this road we have twists and turns that come that we did not plan.  Our cordwood house was not to be.  All the people who have graciously helped us over the months and years are true friends.  Their work will not be in vain.

The stress (including one mental breakdown), the financial burden, and the continued openness to change has led us to redirect our course.  We've moved up to Stone Table Farm in September of 2016.  The Grouse has now become a home and we have even added on some bedrooms.

The family has survived almost a year all living in the same room.  No one went crazy.  We are learning what we need in life is most of the time different than what we want.

We sawed up the timbers for the timber frame house into dimensional lumber for the additional bedrooms.  This was a blessing to have this wood available, seasoned, and ready to go.

The biggest blessing of all is the cordwood itself.  After deciding not to build our home we put an ad out on some of the cordwood building sites advertising our cordwood.  After only a few days we got an inquiry....and from our own local area!  Someone two towns over was going to build a cordwood home and needed wood!  How cool is that.  All the blood, sweat, and tears that went into that cordwood....and it ended up being used for its intended purpose - in our local area!  They just picked up the last load of it today.

Thank you to everyone who has been part of this journey.  We continue to wonder what twists in the road ahead will bring new adventures.

Blessings to all,

The Barkers
