Not to be outdone by Granny's concrete island-in-the-snow, here is our barn cat Rocky showing off his island. This is the picnic table outside our welcome center, slowly beginning to emerge from the snow drifts. I got the photo on Friday afternoon.
That's Lena's Barn in the background. You can see the 12-foot roof extension we put on it last year. After 8 years of having to chip, dig and pry open those doors on the north side of the barn every winter, we finally had our contractors extend the roof to keep the snow and ice away from the doors. We learned that lesson early — which is why, when we built Beauty's Barn in 2005, we had 12-foot roof overhangs placed above both the north and south doors. No crowbars necessary to open those doors in the winter!
Rocky is just happy the picnic table is now clear of snow and ice for his afternoon sunning sessions.
