The weather has frustrated efforts to do any further building on Anam Cara. We're hoping that after this week of rainy weather warmer temperatures will start to settle in allowing framing to be finished. If it's not raining, I'm driving out there on Friday whether anything has been done or not! I need an Anam Cara fix! Just walking around the site is a time of spiritual renewal and I want to take Claire, our new puppy, for her first hike around the property. It's probably not wise to take a 30 lb. pup to a virtual landscape of mud, but that's what outdoor hoses are for...right?!
I've been grabbing paint swatches trying to decide on colors for the inside, and have also started looking at lighting fixtures. So many decisions to make! I want to get as many of those pesky details out of the way as I possibly can, so that we're not overwhelmed with an infinite number of decisions all at once. A friend suggested taking a permanent marker and writing scripture verses on the beams of each room before it's finished off. What a wonderful idea! If any one has suggestions, drop us a line. I imagine Mark and I will try to write the verses in the next couple of weeks.
May God bless you all to be a blessing!
