Most of the yard was scruffy lawn, hard to keep watered due to the slope.

Now, we have just enough to provide a cool spot to curl your toes in - with the rest of the yard given over to drought tolerant favorites and hardscape.

The replica door of the Sod House at Beiseker. Early Pioneers built homes such as this one - the absolute basic shelter! We saw this replica Sod House (built in 2006) on the way to visit the Hutterite Colony (Fairview Colony) for the afternoon. A very enjoyable and interesting visit, and the members were delightfully friendly and welcoming! How we enjoyed the apple pie and ice-cream, tea/coffee that was provided for us!
