Latest room interior photos





This mornings ride...

Okay. I am going to post a bunch of photos from this mornings bike ride. Yes, most of them are of deer. But she was such a good and patient mama she deserves your attention. She held mine.
For years I have tried to catch the way the light filters through the trees early in the morning on the trail. It was very beautiful this morning and here is my latest attempt...


Looking east towards the river.

The channel has changed a great deal this Spring and Summer.

And then on the way back I stopped dead in my tracks when I spotted mama and her two babies. The babes skedaddled, probably at moms request but she stuck around out of curiosity and perhaps to insure her babes safety.

She pranced around in circles on the trail trying to figure out what I was and if I posed a danger.


She maintained this awkward pose for some time.







This last shot is one of the babes crossing the trail to join mama.

Good Morning!

Just a quick hello this morning because this place needs to be polished up a little. I have reached my saturation point of tolerance for clutter and grass clippings. Primer needs to be applied to the exterior as well but the rain forest we have been living in lately is making that difficult to get accomplished.
I am so ready for all the loose strings to come together. October is looming large and we have much to do yet before we can think about packing up and heading south. I have heard that triple digit heat is still a factor in Texas so heading there now would be a mistake. 'All in good time' and 'this too shall pass' are the mantras of the day!

Done Deal...sort of

Our new room is finished on the inside! Butch and I finished putting the floor in yesterday and today. It looks great. I want to clean all the windows before placing furniture in it and plan to get right on that tomorrow. Here are the latest photos.
