One Roof Beam, Two Roof Beams...

And while the floor of the half barn was receiving its top coat of cement, up went the first beam.

I'm afraid that I had a tear in my eye as I watched. In my heart there was much gladness. But my eyes were welling up. Oh not so anyone would notice, but they were there. I suppose I was being silly: it is just that it has been a bit of a long road.........


And then the second beam went up! Maybe before the end of the year she will have her bonnet!

And the waltzing storm clouds came....

.....and made her glow.....


....as they did me.

From over the hill they came, just before sunset....

.....which enabled them to have their underbelly tickled by the last of the sunlight..

..which rosied them up....


....and up!


And as the Day put herself to bed, she flirted with the Night, playing with the sunlight upon the clouds....


Until the Night said 'Enough!' Be away now, and rest, but yet still the Day continued to romp...


And after one last flurry of light, the Day consented to being done.


And as the Night captured the skies, the Day slid into rest.

...as indeed I do now! It is getting late. Boolie is sitting at the door of The Hut, keeping a look-out for things to bark at, Lester is already finished with the Day and has gone to bed, and now I must do the same.

Things I have learnt: That sky-watching is fascinating and awe inspiring and that one needs to take the time to do so when the Heavens are putting on a show.
That is also awe inspiring to watch the builders shimmying up and down the ladders but that one has to be discrete about paying too much attention to them. Unlike the Heavens, they are not particularly fussed about being watched!
That I have a love in my heart for this place.
