Slowly carving through the TaDa! List. Full slate of teaching this morning, then James (Saint James by now) helps me put up and hammer in some portable sheds and reconfigure the stick built shed and adjacent pastures. Heavy work, laborious work, and not a few casualties.

In between projects I duck into the dark coolness of the house to start new batches of photos from Shirley's uploading onto the Smugmug site.

The same beastly heat and humidity which saps strength and speed by day now bring glorious lightning storms and welcome, wonderful rain.
