Glad to hear you got lucky on that one, my friend. Definitely coulda been worse. I had a couple pines come down on the N Florida property in a couple of the storms last year. I was lucky, too, since they fell right where the garage was going to be.I've been out of pocket for a day or two, first just the heat and humidity, but biggest issue ended up being last night's really short, but really powerful, storm. Took down trees and fences everywhere, well for us just a big section of tree that blocked the garage. BUT, fortunately spared my 2002 hatchback (I swear it has 9 lives!).
Anyway, finally a chance to sit down with something really easy: Lane Macanudo in the Country Gentleman.
Along with iced black tea and evap. milk. Whew.
Well, got my mom's project set up. She's happy with my couple days tinkering in the shop.
She's going to plant vines on it, to decorate the septic system area. Maybe an old bicycle or something behind it. She also started working on her "fairy house" project. When i was out here a couple years ago doing the clearing before i started the build on her house, she requested i leave a stump from one of the trees in what was going to be her future front yard. So i did and this is what's become of it:
Firing up a bowl of Steamworks in a Cinar on the deck with a little leftover Bordeaux from dinner while helping her get some documents moved to her computer for concealed weapons permit. Then getting a cigar going for the drive home. Early bed, early rise. Her airplane leaves at like 7am, so that'll be a fun morning.
