While the inside of Nestling House gets its makeover, the process of converting the outdoor space into a natural play area got underway this weekend. The weather couldn't have been better, so we packed a picnic lunch and some tools and spent the day working and exploring the yard. While Eric employed a farm jack to pull out several fence posts along with their hefty concrete anchors, Nettie baked a pie out of pine cones foraged from beneath the yard's mighty conifer.
