Rain =s slow building

Well, we didn't get as far this week as either George or I had hoped we would. Rain and a muddy site lead to delays.



The second floor is on and the front porch is built. This is to provide a platform for the guys to set the trusses manually since the driveway is too muddy to allow the crane to be used.









The head guy from the framing sub was on the site Wednesday, looking none too happy. This weather and the delays can't be making them any money. And with Christmas almost here, there will be a long weekend and even more delay.

So, a chance to vote (with no guarantee that we'll pay any attention to the voting results), and an opportunity to try out your eyesight.

First: Name for our place. Choice (a) Rocosa Vista, being Espanol for Rocky View in honor of the fact that we see rocky peaks every where we look. But, there are a lot of things named "Vista" or "View". Choice (b) Sheltering Oaks, for the big oak trees on our lot.


Then, check out the wildlife:
Did you see them??? The grey blobs between the straw and rocks are quail eating the grass seed we threw out. Oh - how about Quail Qwossing for a name. Nah. . . .
