Almost landed in OZ

Probably not exciting for you but I'm thrilled to

have light along the walkway once more.

I had hard wired lighting there for years but the cost

of the bulbs was ridiculous

so out it came, and solar added instead.

Plywood still down protecting my bricks,

and about 30 minutes ago,

the guys were back finishing up

footers of the pergola, and setting trellis wire

and maybe, just maybe, I will be close to the finish line.

When installation is delayed like this

and the budget creates changes,

you have mixed feelings

because you're uncertain what the

original plan was,

and will this all still work out?

Mostly you just want the damn thing done.

The city had sustained winds

between 65- 80 mpr last night and it was

rough going and loud

and lots of folks had damage.

I lost a couple decorative pieces in the yard,

but nothing major.

Around 10 pm I looked out to make

sure I wasn't in the Emerald City.

Happy Weekend
