I find this picture so amusing—the whole place is one giant haystack (reed-stack):
It looks quite pretty when the sun hits it:
This detail was a nice surprise—a cross hatch pattern in the thatch above the entryway:
Ladders, ladders, everywhere!

Wait... you really have a thatched roof on your house? Oh my goodness -- I think that is one of the neatest things I have seen in quite some time! Wow... reminds me of my trip to Ireland with my parents (I'm half-Irish).
Wow... I am seriously impressed!

Having a thatched roof in America, what a novel idea! Seeing photos of your roof immediately brings up images of my grandmother' home in Ireland and everything Irish in my heritage of which I am so proud. Years ago, my son and I were fortunate to visit my grandparent's hometown in Tyrone and Monaghan where we met about 60 relatives still living there. They shared stories of what it was like back then - true heroism in action for the love of God and His holy Church! Ireland was more beautiful than I had imagined and going back there really helped me understand who I really am. PS Your website is outstanding!
