Its been very hot these past few days, much hotter than the weatherman predicted. Also, my oak trees have not sprouted leaves yet. Pa works only in the mornings to finish putting the cross-beam "stringers" on the rafters. Afternoons are just too hot.
The cross beam stringers are done!
After our busy morning and lazy afternoon, we decided to drive down to the bald eagle's nest in the sycamore tree to see if we could see babies. Naturally, we did - we still think there may be two babies! We also discovered the cormorants are back. On the way home, I made Pa stop the car so I could take this photo. Pa thought it'd be a better shot by the black snake's sunning rock. Mom and Pa walked down this way a lot and there's a 6 foot snake that likes to sun on the rocks on one side of the road. Well, by then, the sun was almost down, but it was still a pretty shot of the sun, the rolling hills and the road home.
Here is a view on the other side of the shed frame with rafters completed.
