Since the remnants of Hurricane Ike passed through last Saturday, there is a spark of Autumn in the air. On Sunday Tracy and I took a hike down the hill, following the still damp rock bottom creek. Tracy found several nice fossils, and I contributed a couple of keepers. It was so pleasant to be outside in something less than 95 degrees!! We took the scenic route back to GR on the Harley and got a double dose of nature- a brilliant, deep red sunset to the west and a soft pastel full moon to the east.
The Hardee siding is almost completely up, a few more wires are in place, the bottom deck support is done (in treated pine), but there still isn't anything notable for the subject of new photos- again- this week; I have already pointed this out to Mike, with a response of heavy sighs : ). Although, I hear I might have a burnished burnished slate colored metal roof next week!
Last week I realized I had ordered all the faucets and sinks- except the kitchen sink. Ha! Today the kitchen sink came via UPS delivery. So there.
This evening I went out to clear a bit around the site. As the sun went behind the horizon a couple of hoot owls called back and forth in the valley. I was never able to find them with my binoculars, but it was an audio feast. It is just those little things that make it so hard to leave.
