Theoretical House

In retrospect, maybe deciding that THIS year, 2020, the biggest shitshow of years – was when we ought to finally build that weekend place we’ve been talking about for 15 years, was a decision doomed to failure. Short-term failure (I hope), but failure nonetheless.

Our contractor was supposed to be done the first weekend of April. We fired him at the end of June. And here we are, the beginning of August, while we wait on the next contractor to get us prices to finish up. He says he’ll have the numbers “in a few days,” but he’s been saying that for longer than I care to contemplate.

So, anyway, this is what it looks like now. Things should get moving again. In a few days.

Moon/Shadow

Look! It’s not exactly following me, but still there it is: a moon shadow.

Two and a half flowers

Two white flowers, and one that’s already given up, are huddled together in the meager shade of the deck.

Street Scene

I appreciated these mundane things aligning themselves in such a pleasing arrangement. Good work, random things!

Cemetery Corner

I don’t always photograph cemeteries; it just looks that way.

Fun fact: my Uncle Donald was from O’Donnell, and when I was a kid I was almost positive that the town was called O’Donald. I may have been disappointed to learn the truth.
