This is what the kiwi builder was up to. He and John put in the first of the red doors (there are three)… the inside of the door is red too so when it stands open all summer the colour is still present.
The Goldilocks windows.. these are the most extravagant of the windows but they do not open which made them cheaper and …
to my mind they are worth every cent. After I have posted this to you this morning I shall go into The Coupe with the Camera House and watch the sun rise through the windows, then you will see why I was so determined to have them. Hope we get a sunrise, it is 22F (-5C) so it will be a crispy clear one.
This is what I was up to yesterday.. the pile is slowly shrinking.
Minty was picking play fights with wee Murphys. They have quite a big outside area but they still love to race in and out of the barn to see what I am doing.
The pea hens were swanning about …
“Its April aren’t you supposed to be laying an egg, Tui? It says in the book that peahens should start laying eggs in April!”
My two Herefords. Queenie the Hereford heifer and Charlotte the Hereford Pig. This week I will start building the outside pig pen, the summer palace. They are more than ready to get outside for the summer.
Good morning. Last night I made a special milk and honey bath for my aching firewood muscles: 2 cups of warm milk straight from the cow + 1 cup of honey + 1/4 cup of epsom salts. Pour into the running warm water. Soak. It was just divine.
Have a lovely day. I see the sky lightening so I am going to go and get that photo of the sunrise for you, then off to the milking parlour. See you tomorrow!

Love the red door. I have a red door on my house, too! I am so glad that spring is finally creeping into to your neck of the woods.
You are an artist of many talents! I love your little house, every day something more comes along to enchant us!

LOVE that red door!!! Gorgeous!
Won’t those red doors look happy all the time? Especially in the depths of a drab, dull winter…
Those Murpheys aren’t so ‘wee’ anymore!
There is something magical about red doors – perhaps because we just know that when we open those doors we enter into a wonderful, secure place. Ahhh Celi, you are the Queen of Sheba in your milk bath. A well deserved luxurious treat. V.
Morning darling.. it is true about red doors and I have always wanted one! Now I will have THREE!! what a lovely life! c
Celi – such beautiful worlds “what a lovely life”. V.
Great windows and sunshine – it looks like a good day 😉
It is coming along beautifully! It must smell delicious too…love the smell of new wooden construction!
I love those doors, and the windows! You’re right, they were worth every cent.
The red doors are perfect, and what a great idea to paint them red on both sides so they’ll still have color when open. Those windows are fabulous, too. Is it just me, or are the murphy’s really having a growth spurt?
The reflected landscape in the fabulous [and good size] red doors is great, and also through the goldliocks windows. The coupe is coming together 🙂 Despite its unfortunate provenance it must feel good to be stacking up all that wood for next winter. I can imagine as well as how it would feel, your Cleopatra bath would smell delicious.
I love watching the little house on the prairie taking shape – the windows are charming and special, and I’m sure John’s mum is going to feel very loved every time she gazes out of them!
