Call it "Complete"

All that is left is the landscaping.  Many are to be thanked for this project.  From idea and inspiration to creation and completion - Shepherd's Glen is a beautiful culmination of everyone's talents and gifts.  Thank you to the long list of individuals to whom we extend our appreciation. 

Our desire was to create a place of refuge where one could enjoy the pristine beauty of creation. Our structure was intended to honor the land with minimal impact; looking like it has been in place for a hundred years. Using reclaimed wood and alternative energy, we hoped to remain good stewards of the gift the land is to us and our heirs.

Window Seat Cushions

DCF in Tupelo made the perfectly fitting window seat cushions (note the "Shepherd's Glen" monogrammed pillow) in which Lauren slept for her first weekend home in nine months.  She declared the best spot in the cabin is the window seat!  It is hard to argue with the fall colors in glorious splendor outside the huge expanse of glass.  What joy to share this great place with friends and family.

Dustin the Woodcarver

 Dustin and Janet are neighbors.  They rode their bicycles over with baby Esther in a backpack carrier to view Dustin's handiwork newly residing in the cabin.  We commissioned Dustin to carve stools for the kitchen counter.  He suggested a "goblet" style using a whole log of poplar for the three stools.  They perched on the beautiful stools for snacktime with Mark while Esther slept on Devin's bed.
