building in winter













Monterey, even in the middle of winter, has two buildings under construction. That will bring the total from about 50 to 52. One is across Spring Road from the "natural produce" stand (see the sign). It is at the northwest tip of the village, right before the "goat path." The other, a house, is at the southeast edge of town on Stumptown Road. If you are tired of staring at your screen, don't rush here for a job. Both sites are strictly union--Amish union, that is.

edge of town


Going north on a snowy day, you see the last building in Monterey, stripped down to its stick frame. Some cultures build round like nests. We do squares and rectangles. Looks like electricity thinks in right angles, too.

construction



More than corn and hay is sprouting up from the fields around Monterey. A new spurt of building is going on. Go through the village square and a mile east on East Eby you'll see this chicken house.

I'm assuming that's what it is. The kind for fertilized eggs for vaccine production.
