This is a beautiful summer with cool summer breezes the gardens, buffalo and kids are all enjoying. Dakota our Daughter and Sofia our Granddaughter love to swing together on any of the three swings around the yard. The gardens are maturing and have bloomed more this year then ever before. The first of August finds us with night time temps in the 60's. The chickens should be laying soon. They love fruit and vegetables of all kinds and what they don't enjoy we compost in one of three areas we are using. Pumpkins are growing in last years compost area and out in all directions almost 20 feet, threatening to take over a huge area!

Many of our photos are of the gardens, we have added a few things around the Inn so watch for more pictures soon with the courtyard, new conference room and our party barn with interior walls in an new stucco finish and mahogany ceiling.

Check out our blog on our most recent adventure, The Myers Hotel in Tonganoxie. We just love to build! This project just needs a few touches to be a really incredible intimate small hotel in the small town Jack grew up in.
