A new beginning...

P1 - A tradition at this Habitat build is for all the volunteers to sign a board with their names and where they're from and mount it in the peak of the attic.  It went up today, the space cleaned of "debris", and the attic door closed for hopefully the last time.  Our colleagues were all questioning John to make sure he'd made the bed up there (because of the amount of time he spent in the attic) before he closed things up. Tomorrow is the house dedication so things are wrapping up.

P2, P3, P4 - This is the patio area at our building supervisor's home where tonight we once again enjoyed their hospitality.  Since last year they've enlarged the patio area with some recycled bricks, put in a "dry Texas garden", and built two keyhole gardens P2 & 4.  The notch is so you can reach all parts of the garden. At the point of the notch is a large piece of plastic pipe that Keith has drilled holes in and into which they put the compost to fertilize the bed.  Pretty neat and made me start thinking of our "gardens in waiting" in New York.
