Work continues, somewhat slowed by lots of rain, not to mention other obligations. Justin is having fun on the exterior . . .
while continuing with the mundane block-laying on the interior.
I'm loving this look.
Meanwhile, cleanup continues --
sifting through the piles of ash and discovering sad artifacts.
For those who asked after the big hydrangea that blooms so extravagantly, I'm happy to say she's alive and apparently undaunted.
If only our beloved country can survive the current regime-- its corruption, its shredding of norms, its attack on the environment and our national parks, its irresponsible and cruel policies--as well.
