(Not to be confused with a group of turkeys, which, I learned, is called a rafter after seeing a group of them crossing CR 203 and googling it to see how to describe what I saw). The house has rafters on most of the roof, window outlines and some ply board. It looks like the rough draft of a house that Glen drew almost three years ago...I STILL can't believe it is coming to fruition. The front doorway wall forms are also complete, giving a real image of the future profile. It is absolutely beautiful to me.
This weekend I had several visitors. Tracy and I were out on Saturday, and Drexel, the cabinet maker, brought his wife out while he and I went over the cabinet plans. Barry Payne, a local artist and school teacher, came out to see the view. He has a search engine that alerts him when anyone writes about Glen Rose, so he has been reading the blog. Tracy's friends from Glen Rose, J.R. and Carla Jones, came out as well. Carla and Barry's wife are great friends...more of that small town feeling that I love so much.
Today I made a small fire on the downward slope and had the water hose ready and primed- just in case. I am happy to report an incident free burning session.
The sunset was pink and lavender and oh so peaceful. I stayed until dark then reluctantly left. Some day I will only have to go inside. Wow.
