Getting the house plastered was a major stress for me, so I fell into a weekend of rest and have not picked up the "pen" until tonight -- Tuesday night. Becasue of the way that lime plaster dries, it was necessary to have at least two people competent with a trowel working at once. In addition I had a helper working with me on carpentry... so it was like being a manager all over again. You never get anything done very well yourself because of constant interruptions! FInding a number 2 troweler took a little doing, but we did finally find a fellow who was able to help Sebastian get a lot of material up in good time.
The upshot is that from the outside we no longer look like a block house!
The weather has been glorious. Now that some heat is showing up I really am glad to be moving inside to frame walls and put down floors and such.
But Barley and my evening walks are ever-so-blooming now. There are daisys all over our land this week: 
And even in the woods there are random out breaks of flowers. 
Even the ferns in the woods are on steriods.
