A Peek at Cabin Life



Just wanted to share a few more
photos of some of the wildlife
that we had the opportunity to enjoy
while at our cabin last weekend.

We love to sit up on the porch and watch the birds at the feeders.

We always get so many Goldfinches visiting.
They like nesting in the hemlocks that surround
our property.

The woodpeckers can be heard, their tapping echoing through the trees.

Each Summer the bluebirds make their homes in our boxes.

The robin likes to find a safe place to nest under the eaves.

We hang several hummingbird feeders on the porch.

They sound like giant bumble bees whizzing past your head.

Often we get lucky enough to see them still and
perching on the feeders.

Thought I would sneak in one of my husband
at the back door to the garage.
The stonework around the lower level of the cabin
was all found on our property and hand laid
by the original owner. A friend engraved the bear
on the header.

Hiking through the local forest is one of
our favorite pastimes.

Icey cold streams running through the
State Park provide a nice cold drink.

The foot bridges are maintained by the park rangers.

The bridge at Mifflintown.

Amish buggies share the roadways with the cars.

The quarry in Milroy is just one of many in the area.

Hope you enjoyed your visit through north central PA.

  3. Green and cool and all that wonderful stone about. I just told Kim at Daisy Cottage that I would be a yellow finch, if I were a bird. That's because I couldn't remember "goldfinch." Sigh. It's getting scary.

  5. My oh my what beauty. When I saw the Amish buggy it brought back sweet memories when I lived in Ohio. I lived just outside of a large Amish community and I loved it.

  13. One of my favourite things to do is to sit outside on my deck early in the morning and just listen to all the birds around me:-) I love nature and always find it a shame when people start waking up and make noise! lol Loved all of your pictures, your cabin and area are so beautiful and peaceful. xoxo
