SUNSET OVER THE WATER THROUGH THE TREES
LUCY G. FERGUSON'S HOUSE AKA THE GREYFIELD INN
GARDENERS IN TREES
THAT BABY HORSE IS BRAND NEW
Today we tried to build the frame for a water tank which will be used in a water catchment system but the cold barn made our work short lived. There were plenty of tools and supplies around but the job would take multiple days to complete and since Lee had started the brace and would probably finish it, we headed inside for warmth. Breakfast was lemon cottage cheese pancakes served with honey and butter. They were very light and airy and delicious. The food situation has been pretty awesome here, although maybe a little too many eggs and cheese.
Dan, a housemate, kindly gave us a tour of upper floors of Greyfield today. We've obviously seen part of it, but until today we had not seen a room where guests lodge. The rooms all vary in size, shape, and character. Along with the 16 rooms in the house, there are three small cottages across the field where additional guests can stay.
We spent the rest of the afternoon at the house, sitting by a fire in the backyard, playing disc golf, and interviewing Andy. On the way back to Greyfield to gather dinner ingredients, we discovered the first foal of 2010 in the airfield, being protected by it's mother. It was such a phenomenal sight to witness a brand new baby horse, supported and totally sheltered by its loving parent.
We cooked up coconut rice with cashews and craisins, as well as a baby butternut squash and sweet potatoes from Andy's garden for dinner. The veggies were cooked in a coconut curry sauce and it was all quite tasty. Despite the cold temperatures, we ate dinner outside, warming our toes, literally, by the huge fire Aaron built. The skies cleared a bit and we could see lots of stars. Cumberland Island has treated us well.
