Those of you who watched my slideshow about Rory and his dome may be interested in new information provided to me by the nice people who bought the property. I thought that eventually someone would see the website and be able to update me with its current status. It didn’t take as long as I thought it would.
This family purchased the property in 2001 from Rory’s siblings who had inherited it from their parents when they passed away. After Rory’s untimely death, the property remained untouched and was allowed to have a peaceful and graceful burial at the hands of mother nature. In my mind’s eye, I see a series of seasons changing as years go by in fast-forward… glorious autumn colors, comfortable blankets of white snow, the awakening of spring and the busy summer activity. The structure that he built slowly became one with the earth.
The new owners had no idea of the history of the property and were surprised to find the remains of the dome buried beneath many inches of soil and moss. As you can see the structure they built is robust and should provide them and future generations of their family with great pleasure and enjoyment.
Thank you to those who have left comments on the website. I plan on leaving the slideshow site up as long as I am able to operate a computer… which should be for a long time.
