Although the bath counter tops had been installed, the tile was to be delivered Monday with installation beginning immediately, the kitchen sink delivered, smoke detectors and bath fans installed, kitchen and utility plugs raised, and some plugs and plates finished out, it was a rather lack luster week. A meeting with the trim carpenter today to figure out mantle installation and placement height and how to balance the beams in the kitchen seemed anti climatic to me. Our new blinds sit on the floor of our apartment waiting until every thing is completed before they can be installed. As I walked around and took in all that had been done, I realized all that yet needed to be completed and what it would take to get some of the construction guys all the way back out to finish or touch up what they need to do. The road is ever so long...
On an interesting note, our friend Tommy the Turtle made an appearance as he hiked across the pasture, headed toward some unseen goal known only to him. He was moving "fast" and we lost track of him when we turned our attention to something else for a couple minutes.
At the tank, Peg saw this snake swimming. Not sure what kind of snake it is.
Later, Peg's eagle eyes spotted this hawk roosting in a tree. I'm guessing this is a Red-Shouldered hawk, but I could be wrong.
It was a very hot today but the breeze through the porch kept us comfortable. As I recall, we really didn't visit the farm in August in past years as it was always too hot. We will be going this year to meet with Ryan, etc. Hopefully the breezes continue.
