Many people have lent their creativity, imagination, and
tools, and many have spent a great deal of time, brawn, and talent on things that are ready to be discovered and explored on the land at the Bellfry. These include (in no particular order):
- fire circle at the top of Bell's Ridge (the most sacred spot)
- Christianna's cradle
- giant, accurate compass rose marking N,S,E,W points with large boulders
- deer stands
- gardens: Peace, Sunset, Well, Vegetable, Meditation, and Cross
- the oak bridge
- children's theatre stage
- Playful Path
- seven octagonal benches, each circling a tree and chosen by one of Forest & Helen's grandchildren
- several sorts of swings: tire, rounding, bench & classic
- skeet shooting range
- Perseverence Path
- hammocks in unexpected places for reading or napping
- Barefoot Path
- benches in spots for watching, waiting, listening, visioning
- Perimeter Trail
- target practice plots
- Storybook Stones
- labyrinth using the scale and design of that at Chartres Cathedral
- Cross Path
- betrothal bench of Anne & David's firstborn, at a sunset summit overlook ("Whiskey Hill" to old-timers)
- Stations of the Resurrection
Go ahead: tear yourself away, put on your shoes, step outside and explore!
Grateful thanks to all who have helped - you know who you are - especially to Bonnie & Rosa.
