Whew, and yet another fun filled day under the sun! Which, means we worked on the addition project for the majority of the day under a scorching sun.

This morning there was a cool breeze that would sweep across our hardwood plateau every now and then, and as I dutifully preened the grass, (with a lawnmower) I couldn't help but to reminisce about my time on the Florida bayou, kayaking through the smooth, quiet (somewhat difficult to navigate) mangrove swamps, then abruptly leaving the stilled waterways and entering into the great Sarasota bay, as the ocean breeze tore across the open bay, tossing and turning my petite skiff hither and thither (well, actually, the wind wasn't THAT strong, but yeah, the open bay waters were just a tad bit choppier than the mangrove
waterways...)

Towards the culmination of the blazing scorching day, (which, by some slight degree happened to be cooler than yesterday)
the sun was slowly blotted out as light grey storm clouds started amassing to the east and west, a welcome sight indeed as it brought with it a cool breeze, which was both a blessing and a curse. The refreshing breeze felt quite delightful on our sun charred skin, but, atop a double stacked section of scaffolding, the wind did have a tendency to make one's stay atop these heights somewhat... more 'thrilling'.
