View from Hilltop House
If you see a red square, where a picture should be, click on the red square. You can also click on the pics to see a larger pic.
This was taken in the evening, while standing on Mom's back porch, and facing towards the left. The white buildings are offices for Pate staff. The 200 yard distant house - at the top of the crest, is "West" house. It is the original residential house for rehabbing neuro patients. The nearest brick building is the therapy house. These houses can also be seen in these pictures. Since these pics were taken(early August), Pate has begun construction on a second therapy/office building, on the slope between the Temporary buildings and the West house.
Pivoting a bit to the right, and looking north, we can see the driveway leading from the therapy house to the road. The road runs east and west at this juncture. It is 140 yards from the road to the porch I am standing on. I sometimes imagine hitting a golf shot from the road, and up the gentle slope, into the prevailing southerly breeze, onto the porch at Hilltop House. I would hit a full 7 iron, and would try to keep it low, where it could bore into the breeze, and up the slope. If the wind caught too much of the shot, I would hit 6 iron during the following round.
Still looking above: across the road is "Main" house - the first house ever built on the property. Main house shelters residents who have permanent neurologic problems, and have no hope of getting better. They live at Main house for life. Main house has a lovely pool in the trees just behind it.
Pivoting further right, towards the northeast, we can see the Hilltop porch which would be my golfing green. The barn below is used for repairing equipment. Behind it, unseen in this pic, is a goat yard . Peeking just around the barn is the Recreation Barn - which also houses Pate accountants, et al. Peeking around the Rec Barn is a tiny barn for the horses Mom can see from her window - though not in this particular photo. The sculpture looking figure is the red tractor featured in the above linked photos.
Living at Hilltop House is lovely, and quietly peaceful.
