North to A Wall-Raising

We traveled to northern Arizona to raise walls for friends. It was beautiful, we had to wear long pants and flannel in the morning, met some great people and had fantastic food. What more can you ask for?

The site is between Williams AZ and the Canyon (uh, that would be the GRAND Canyon) with a view of the San Francisco Peaks.

Carole and Mike are much closer to realizing their dream of a strawbale cabin. Still a lot of work to do but for anyone who does the Canyon Rim-to-Rim this should be a walk in the park.

We then spent some time in Williams
and visited the Arboretum in Flagstaff-a great weekend!

October 20, 1978-who are those kids?

There's a nip in the air!

65 degrees this morning, not quite frost on the pumpkin but we'll take it.

Not much house news lately. Now that it's 97% finished there's just not a lot to report. The landscaping is coming along and I have some pictures to post later. I also need to block off some Saturdays for exterior plaster finish and repair.

Here's a blog post I wanted to share from Trent at The Simple Dollar. There's a lot of wisdom in those few paragraphs.

Enjoy your weekend!
