Day Six: Snow?!

Getting ready for Easter with a fat, fluffy bunny!

Here's just one side of this amazing house-- and the impressive tower.

The roof is going up soon.

Looking down from up in the tower with Greta and Elwyn

We woke up to a beautiful snowfall and some surprised daffodils. Greta made us delicious pancakes for breakfast while Elwyn and Maddie played with his giant indoor tractor (castles are big!). We climbed to the top floor and then up a ladder into the tower where we could see the organic blueberry fields, the purple mountains, and their terraced gardens—amazing!

Chasing Maddie was a big part of the tractor fun.

Pancakes! And me in Nathaniel's work shirt because no one packed me a sweater for our trip to Florida. Nathaniel needed his work shirt because Greta is, quote, "A slave driver."

Greta, John, and Elwyn have an Airstream in their yard! They’re refinishing the inside to be super homey and hip. When they leave the castle, they’ll call the camper home. I’m so jealous and miss my old school, orange shag, gold puff upholstery Airstream of my youth…

Maddie got to play with the whitest, fluffiest bunny this side of Easter and Sonja sat in the garden while her Daddy raked and hoed and laid sod. We’re heading into Ashville in a little bit and hope to see Cooper Riis before this leg of the trip is over.
