Heart to Home | Flag Pins at Mendakota Manor

 

A fun, simple 4th of July craft; beaded fag pins!  It takes some concentration and fine motor work, but the results are beautiful...

Heart to Home | Hilltop Manor Photos

Here are some recent photos courtesy of our sweet neighbors... Thank you for taking such great time-lapse pics for us :)

Heart to Home | Portraits

We like to update portraits of our residents and houses from time to time.  Here are a few of our recent snapshots from around the houses...

Heart to Home | Bird Watching

We took an impromptu outing to the Lebanon Hills Park in Eagan for some bird watching.  On the way home we stopped for some tasty caramel ice cream sundaes... Yum yum! 

 

These birds were putting on quite the show for us.  At one point there were four of these large birds all perched in surrounding trees.   

Heart to Home | Hilltop Manor

Here is a view of the future dining room and gourmet kitchen.

Here is the bedroom suite located in northwest corner of the home.  Most suites feature two windows and all suites have on-suite bathrooms.  The hill in the back will be finished with a beautiful boulder retaining wall.

Here is a view from the dining room looking towards the front door and family room.  The picture window / family room area in the upper right hand corner will feature a beautiful corner fireplace with stone surround.

Here is another large private suite.

And another large private suite with views of the front yard and Dodge Nature Center.

Hilltop Manor is living up to it's name!  Here it stands, perched upon a hill overlooking the Dodge Nature Center... 

Heart to Home | Sweet... Sweet... Chicks

Kayla brought in her sweet little chicks to visit the residents at Mendota Manor and Mendakota Manor.  The residents loved holding them, feeding them and talking about "farm life".  Such a treat!

An easy chicken carrier... Peek-a-boo!

Feeding the chick some treats!
