take a hike • 10 comments • The owners of the Ice House own quite a bit of land around the property. We went for a hike, got lost, and took way too many photos. Alex saw these weird little mushroom things and told me that he and his friends used to poke them with sticks (when he was in scouts) and a green cloud would come out of them. You can't really see it all that well in the photo because I didn't want to get too close to it. Thanks to the magic of the internet, we've learned that they're called puffballs! This was a good day.
the old ice house • 10 comments • Approaching the historic 19th century ice house, beautifully restored into a cabin, was like stepping into a fairy tale. It was all so perfectly picturesque. The cabin is called the 'Ice House' because it was originally built to store blocks of ice (cut from ponds in the winter) for the summer visitors of the nearby Wellscroft Lodge. Now, it's anything but cold. We spent a few days lounging by the fire, playing cards, making popcorn and s'mores, and gazing at the stars in the evenings. - Mina
