Upper guest apartment, and it is looking up the road
towards Hosenfeld. Your ears will pop at the top of
this hill, winter time makes for lots of fun with snow
removal and the salt shaker can't quite get up there.
They have to borrow a farm tractor to help pull the
truck to the top.

The Church is looking south towards the middle of
town, the Church was built in 1739. When we first
moved up here after I retired, I had serious thoughts
of finding that person who was ringing those church
bells at 0620 in the morning...but turned out to be a
good thing. The grandkids had to get up and out to
catch the bus next door and go to school. The main
part of our town is in the valley, the wind is not as
strong down here, but it does have its drawback...when
it snows we get more than the next little towns. Our
valley is "closed" all the way around, the others are
open at either end. Last year we averaged 3 feet of
snow, the others had 14 to 20 inches.

Back view you can see our back yard and Heidi's 'tater
patch', the open field with the wood pile in the
middle belongs to the church...the Volunteer Fire
Brigade was supposed to burn that pile and practice
using the pumps and various hoses, nozzles and etc,
well something like the "spotted owl" story came
up...so they're having to wait until the Nature
Police say it is safe to burn.
