I like the way this pink hollyhock looks against the gray fencepost.

It may just be a lowly onion, but when I stopped to take a closer look I was surprised to see how pretty it is.

Dormer walls

What a surprise to see some dormer walls when I got home from work this evening!

We'll have to take time away from working on the house this weekend to sort lambs and haul them to market. It's going to be HOT this weekend, so we'll need to get an early start.

Progress on new house


Last year at this time we were waiting for the basement walls to be poured. Now we have the subfloor finished on the top level of our new two-story-plus-basement home. This floor will contain the master suite, a loft, and the entrance to the bonus room over the garage.

With only one person working on the house, and being a pay-as-you-go project, it may take a little longer to complete. But I think it will turn out as good as or maybe even better than the last house we built.

In this photo you can see the sheep in the pasture north of the house.
