Green Valley House has a fresh coat of exterior paint, and it looks wonderful! Our friends at Torres Painting are finishing up the last bit - green paint on the doors - today. We really appreciate their hard work and expert skill!
The first 3 pictures are from today; picture 4 was taken last week, when the white stucco and siding had all been repaired and painted; picture 5 was what it looked like before painting. The fresh paint really makes a difference, doesn`t it?
If you`re interested in touring Green Valley House, we`re planning a drop-in open house on Saturday, October 31. We`ll also have at least one new cabin set up so you can take a look inside that as well. Learn more online, and let us know if you plan to stop in!

The flowerbeds are looking bright and cheerful today -- and the bees like them, too!

If you`ve been following us for a while, you will have seen some pictures of the process of turning Green Valley House into our newest guest facility, including the recent excitement of the new driveway and parking area. Now we`re pleased to announce that Green Valley House is open for guest reservations starting in mid-October!
We`ve created a webpage full of info about this building, including additional (captioned) pictures, a floor plan, details about the building amenities, and more. Hopefully most of your questions about Green Valley House are answered there, so go check it out! More photos will be added as we finish up the last projects (mainly in the larger kitchen and living area, and outside).
Additionally, because we want people to be able to see for themselves what this new facility has to offer, we are hoping to have an open house on October 31! If that interests you, save the date; details are still being finalized, and we will share more as we plan the open house.

Check out what happened at Highland yesterday: the new driveway and parking lot for Green Valley House is now paved!
The good folks from Partners Excavating did a lot of site prep work over the last few weeks, and then tackled the big job of paving yesterday. There`s now a nice parking area for Green Valley House (open for reservations, mid-October and beyond), and the driveway also passes in front of the former Gehman residence (which will be staff/volunteer housing) and then exits onto Rt 259 directly across from Upper Highland Drive. Thanks for all the great work, friends! It looks wonderful, and will make for safe, smooth access to our newest guest facility!
(Also look for the video clip posted today of the end of the paving process, if you want to see a bit more!)

This snippet of video was taken as the work was wrapping up around 2pm yesterday. You can see the last bit of the parking area being rolled flat, and then there`s a look at the length of driveway that passes in front of Green Valley House (open for reservations, mid-October and beyond) and the former Gehman residence (which will be staff/volunteer housing) and then exits onto Rt 259 directly across from Upper Highland Drive. The good folks from Partners Excavating did a lot of site prep work over the last few weeks, and then tackled the big job of paving yesterday. Thanks for all the great work, friends!

All God`s critters have a place in the choir . . . including these ones that were photographed over the course of the summer. Even if you`re not the type who wants to hold the critters yourself, hopefully you agree that the God who created all the complex and beautiful and weird and fascinating animals is a truly amazing God!
Most of these pictures were among our summer camp photos. But the picture of the water snake chowing down on a fish was shared with us by an observant guest who spotted the meal in progress under the low water bridge earlier this month. Thanks, Sarah, for sharing your picture!
