Biggest Screen Ever

At our last visit we installed an unbelievable 8-foot by 8-foot projection screen in the dining room. Partially Martha's vision for making the farmhouse friendly for groups, clubs and business gatherings and my vision for that future photography studio - not to mention that boy need for a big screen TV - the projection screen idea was born. "8-foot?" I asked. "Yes," she replied. And here it is!

The Upstairs Bath

A nice place to read in the front room

The Breakfast Nook

Yep. A wood burning fireplace.

During the first snow of 2011, we snapped some good shots of the inside of our farmhouse at the ranch.

Quite A Winter

We took some time out of our hectic sea level lives to enjoy our mountain ranch this February and we arrived just 10-minutes before the snow flyed! And 6-inches by the next morning! Quite a treat as last February (2010) we braved Highway 79 up from Alpine in a Kia sedan during a blinding - literally - snowstorm!

March Snow

Luckily (and blessed from some great prayers from the lovely Martha and some fancy driving from Michael, who hadn't driven in snow since his days in Illinois) we arrived back at the ranch minutes before the plows came out to clear the highway. During "snow days" here in Julian, be prepared and bring chains! Once you get here, you're okay but, whew, the roads are something else to the unprepared.

Last Summer

On behalf of the lovely Martha, welcome to our ranch page. There will be much more to come over the course of the next several years and if you're viewing this you're one of the first to learn about the exciting ideas that are in the future. In the meantime, thanks for taking a look!
