   Somenos lake farm house and shack, photograph taken from the driveway. Summer, 1935. Just to the right of the driveway is where the Windeyer's Wolf River apple tree would have been. The Wolf River apple tree was the only one of its kind on the property during the Windeyer days. This variety of apple grows quite large and Irene Noel Windeyer could bake an entire apple pie with just one of them.
