Goodbye Chain Link Fence, Hello Pine Cone Pie

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. 

And so it begins...

With long coveted permission from the Milwaukee Board of Zoning Appeals to use the building as a child care center, we are pleased to announce that Nestling House will be opening in September of 2016.  After two years of planning and searching for the right location, our S. Howell space has begun its transformation.  Take a look and stay tuned for updates.
