I don’t believe I’ve ever seen this before – all the workers showed today. Not for all day, but still. My dad, the electrician, his plumber assistant, the HVAC guys. My dad did a great job of tiling the master shower. I worked on cleaning things up outside and preparing to move a lot of dirt around the house. Took trash to the dump, made a couple of trips to Home Depot. The rest of the week is going to be much colder.

Part of me wanted to drive out into the sticks and stargaze last night. The sky was clear and there was a new moon, but alas the comfortable bed refused to let me go. Maybe tonight. I did get up at the crack this morning and take some pictures. I went to the development across the street. It has a lovely lake that was all misty. After driving around a little and checking out the goats I napped for the rest of the morning. That was refreshing but I felt bad because the day was so pretty. I went back to the campus farm and visited several other spots as well, including the Templeton Library at sunset. I will stay at the cottage again tonight and then head for the farm first thing in the morning.
