Cold and crisp!

Yep, winter is here. We've begun construction on the new barn, and are shortly moving the two puppies (now approaching 70 lbs each at around 5.5 months) and 3 geese into the pasture. It's been a long haul, fencing around 2 acres with wire that is buried 8 inches and 7.5 feet high. The barn plans continue accordingly-- we should be up and barn-y by the end of December. It has been cold, cold, cold. That hasn't stopped us here at the Cottonwood-- we've started remodeling on our "Buckaroo" room, which we have renamed the "Southwestern". Why? Well, we felt the changes to the room-- pine flooring, bar seating area, and (drum roll) the new patio off the room, including an adobe fireplace and two person hot tub in a latilla-enclosed rooftop oasis-- embody the Southwest experience. The view from the new Southwestern patio is absolutely AMAZING! The stars go on forever, and the 6-foot latilla fence blocks any street-level light interference with star-gazing. This is the room to have on your next visit. Check back on the website soon for more images....
