On August 21, I posted some photos of our milk house. At that time I got the opportunity to clean out that space, take photos of the equipment, and post it on Craigslist. We finally sold the equipment to a maple syrup producer - they call it sugaring here in the north. The buyer, Dan Lehigh, and his friend, Chuck, spent the day here working with Mark loading up the two vats, refrigeration units, pumps, and as much of the piping as they could fit on his trailer. Here are photos:

Ste Marie goes well |

| Empty milk house. I need to re-clean the space so it can evolve into my summer kitchen. Mark now has more work to do rewiring, plumbing, and patching walls [poor bastard]. (Mark added that as he proofed this - hehehe) |
 |
| We will install a propane cook top on the raised platform in the corner so that I can process veggies, fruits, etc... |
 |
| We kept the sinks along the left wall and we will need a new hot water heater. My freezer and extra refrigerator will be in this space, along with metal shelves and a metal table to make washing up easier. |

While Mark, Dan and Chuck worked loading the trailer, I worked in the house and took a walk in the woods.
 |
| God's carpet - one tree was at least 8 foot long - entirely covered in the most beautiful lush moss. It made me want to take off my shoes and run my feet through it. |
 |
| In one portion of this long log, a new little pine tree had sprouted. The decaying wood is providing protection, nourishment and stability for this little sprout. |
