We went up to visit the Manse today. We mainly wanted to see the back property lines after being staked by the surveyor. We walked around the house; I took some photos.

West side of the Manse. The two windows on the first floor are to the dining room.

The garage. Note the hayloft doors on the left-hand side.

The surveyor did a great job of staking the back property line; we now know where the property ends and the Sparta Cemetery begins. In this photo, you can also see one of the old rebar-and-cement fence posts. We’ll have to decide if we want to put in fencing or repair these posts at all.
It’s a little early, but there are already snowdrops popping up around the property. This batch was in the front yard in front of the retaining wall.
