Saying Farewell to the Bell Tower

As the winter snows thawed and the spring winds blew the Bell Tower swayed. One evening while the wind blew I heard wood “creaking” and “cracking”. I looked out the window and the Bell Tower was moving. The next morning when we surveyed the damage we saw that the pressure from the weight of the Bell Tower had twisted the roof above the kitchen in White Pine Lodge. At that point it was apparent that the Bell Tower was jeopardizing the safety of White Pine Lodge, especially the refrigerator in the kitchen.
Therefore, work began to easily dismantle the Bell Tower.
The week after it was down, beams from it were used to improve the conditions of the Cottage, the ground was prepared for a kitchen garden and later this summer we will enjoy the greens.
