A Typical Tuesday?

While the last vestiges of darkness let go of their grip on the sunrise, our home is already in full tilt. The Engineer has already left for work and the lone Boy is packing his lunch for his second day of work. He likes his job -- even if it is simply tagging pots in a hoop house. It's the pay at the end of the week that makes it worth it. He already has plans for the money he worked hard to earn.

I drive him and two neighbouring young people to work. As I'm on my way home, I watch the sun burst into life above the lingering nighttime clouds. In a word. Glorious! I realize that I am still very much a morning person. I sip my coffee and admire the quiet beauty.

Very soon the quietness of little girls sleepily eating cold cereal for breakfast and me folding yesterdays remaining wash loads will be destroyed by the construction trades descending on our home to get another all in a days work completed. Almost all the drywall is up and ready to be taped.

Bad wiring is discovered resulting in our electricians spending far more time on our lighting than originally planned.

This is bad. Very bad! (No, our electricians did not do it nor did the Engineer)!

Making repairs while one little girl watches in fascination. We're not sure, but we're thinking she is planning a career as an electrician.

New windows are going in.

Meanwhile since its cold in the house anyway, the girls decide its time to convince spring it should be here and they go out to play a rousing game of croquet....... in the snow.

Yes those are horses on her boots. Her Momma bought those for our horse girl in a moment of weakness :o). I love 'em!!

Me? I've turned into an ice cube. I'm quit glad not all Tuesdays are like this, but it is very fun to see our house take shape! So glad we're going out for my birthday for supper tonight with my family though! (You don't want to see the mess everywhere)!

Trusting you're all warmer than I :o)!
