We had always wanted to build an antique vintage greenhouse. We’ve been picking and collecting windows since we moved into the farm. These were bought at a sale on Open Meadows, where Bruce grew up. They’re from the Old School House. March, when the wind was whipping and snowflakes were flying, I was busy planting…
