It was time...
for the weather to change. When I woke up this morning, sunlight was there although not with the same intensity it has shown the past few days. The ole iPhone weather app was accurate again! Since the sun was out, I again set out without a coat (thinking I had this PT dressing down pat now) and promptly realized I do NOT have it down yet! The wind is blowing pretty hard today (again, I haven't been here long enough to know if these are strong or moderate winds) and it certainly makes a huge difference in the temperature. While it is about 49 now, it feels like 32 to me; much the same as the last several days have been 50'ish, but felt like the mid-60s. As I drove back into town after some errands, I saw white caps on Admiralty Inlet. The ferry was on the PT end of its lap and I wondered how rough the crossing would be today. But then again, I'm a Texas wimp!
Stopped by 523 and Pete, Greg & Patrick were joking about the weather & how "balmy" it was compared to this time last year. Greg & Patrick regaled me with tales of rain blowing in near horizontal sheets while they were standing in above-ankle icy water. These guys are tough!
Today's photo is of their progress mid-afternoon. It's more recognizable as the outline of the house now. Lots of decisions being made one after another at this phase - think that the exact fireplace location (and hence, the mantle) will be decided tomorrow morning. Then on to the next decision!
I'm in for the afternoon doing my "homework" and listening to the winds swirling around me. No problems with that for me!

Lili...I am readinga book at the moment by Eric Weiner called The Geography of Bliss. It's about places where people are the happiest. Interestingly enough, it's not all about warm climates. Finding a place to be that is in harmony with your interior landscape is key. I think you have done just that with PT.
ReplyDeleteJackie, you are my best source of books for the soul! It's going on the Kindle list!
