June 26, 2002, Wednesday                  The escaped horse in Adriana's yard

Another nice cool morning.  Hung the last door and finished up all the trim on the garden side of the house.  Levi went for a walk around lunchtime and came back to say
there was a big bay horse loose on the road.  Went down to investigate with Adriana, and the horse followed Levi back to Adriana's farmyard.  She made a few calls and discovered the horse belongs up the ridge near Paul's house, so Adriana and Matt walked it back.  Small rain shower in the afternoon.  We cleared all the building debris around the house and tidied up for tomorrow's departure.  Started a nice pork roast with apple vinegar sauce and root veggies for supper.  Jon arrived around 7 pm and we sat to dinner.  Quiet evening of Racko. We leave early in the morning.  I had hoped to get the post in the ground for the addition and perhaps lay the hearth for the kitchen, but it will have to wait until next trip.  I will bring extra bodies next time.  At least we accomplished a few odd bits and pieces.

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

An elegant supper... looks darn good, if I do say so myself.
