I took it easy this morning and didn’t head to the farm until about eight. The downside to that was the fact that it was already blazing hot by the time I arrived. I spent some time talking with James, my next door neighbor, and did some cleanup around the job site. The framers came and put up a few more rafters before running out of big nails. They moved on to sheathing after that. I left about two, and they told me that they expected to stay another hour or two. I know that want to be finished by the end of next week.

They put on ceiling joists today and also started on the rafters. We got a little rain this afternoon, like yesterday, but it wasn’t enough to slow things down too much. I saw a couple of deer in the back field this evening.

On Saturday morning I got up at a rather unpleasant hour to photograph sunrise at Lake O’Donnell. Once the initial difficulty of getting out of bed passed I had an amazing time. The air was so fresh and the solitude comforting. I used my still somewhat new Canon 80d for these pictures.

My next stop was Green’s View overlook. I have always had a rather difficult time taking great pictures there. These aren’t fantastic, but the do a decent job of capturing the scene. I love looking out over those fields.

Next up was the goats at the Sewanee farm. The babies are getting big!

No sunsets and no Sunday sunrise. It was a fairly lazy weekend, and not so lazy in other ways, due to Luke’s presence. Hopefully we will return soon. Memorial Day weekend is a possibility.
