LJ and I visited the property on Saturday. The temperature reached 60 degrees. Although it was a little breezy at the cabin, it was warm as we hiked through the timber. We tried to walk the fence lines but because the trees have no respect for a fence, it was a meandering sort of walk.
Now, we anxiously await spring and summer and look forward to seeing the timber and meadow decked out in leaves and grasses. It will be extremely shady in some areas as the moss grows all the way around the trees and not just on the north side. We didn't startle any deer nor other wildlife except in the cabin. I rattled the woodstove and out ran a plump, big mouse. He will need to find new housing, and soon, as I don't plan on sharing a one-room cabin with a mouse.
We hadn't been in the cabin before. It is just one room, uninsulated and not air tight. We will make it warm and homey and it will do just fine for weekends until we build a permanent home on this land.
