The creek is wild today

Maybe there was more rain north and west of here last night, because the creek is running wild.

This morning I went into Cooperstown to the Farmers Market for some peaches, tomatoes, blue potatoes, and my favorite from there: Painted Goat cheese. Today I got their raw goat's milk feta, haven't tried that yet.

I left 2 peaches for the architect for bothering her about picking up a siding sample on a Saturday. Turns out she had plenty of peaches and was freezing them for winter pies, but she was happy for the 2 unfrozen ones to eat. Then I took the sample to the hardware store to compare it to the roof shingle colors. Harvard Slate looks MUCH better in person than on the website, so that will be the color for this little house. Note to IKO: Take some better photos of your shingle colors and replace the awful samples you have on your website and in your brochure. Maybe it's just me...far too picky...

And Fly Creek was having a town yard sale today, so I hit a few places and came back with 2 nice wine glasses for $2, and some homemade strawberry jam for $4. I'm on a low budget during this building project.

The rain seems to have stopped. Maybe I'll be able to get the grill going for dinner tonight.

Lester's Flat: The sequel

I now have a new version of iMovie that is much more fun to play with, but it erases whatever knowledge I had of the old version. So this is a mystery all over again! I have no idea how to save this to the blog in the right format, but I wanted to put something up here so I could show it off in work today. Be patient with Speilberg, Jr., here (ha!). I'll keep playing with it...but this is all I can do today. The soundtrack will have to wait for another day.

Perfectly framed. Here comes the rain again.

Jim the Builder heard I was bad-mouthing him on the blog for messing up the dock and the trees. I told him all was right with the world, and I would give him some praise to make up for it. Jim, you and the guys are truly doing an excellent job...keep up the good work! Everyone who sees how fast this house is growing up from the ground is very impressed.

I am working on a slideshow of all that happened this week, but since I am also doing some real work (the kind that pays for this project) the slideshow will have to wait for tomorrow.

The steamy temps are supposed to leave us after a rainy Friday. Then we're supposed to go back to some less humid weather. Right now the guys are out there working in the pouring rain...again!
