The new home is what our Habitat group is helping to complete for Stephanie and her three children. By the time we leave in three weeks (in spite of or, perhaps because of), they will have moved in.
This home will be the first zero energy home in Mason with photovoltaic panels on the roof. (Thank heavens Texas law requires they be installed by professionals in the field, not volunteers!)
The home is a simple Craftsman style. Keith, who designs the homes, has an amazing ability to take a simple rectangular home and, with a little extra effort, make each one energy efficient, each one unique (no tickitack homes in Mason), and each one affordable to both the home owner and the community that sponsors them.
The blue bonnets, yellow bitter weed, and pink golden eyed phlox are in full bloom. You can see how dry the ground is around them so it's truly a miracle that anything is blooming!
And, we must be in the south. The pickup is white...
Love the color of the blue bonnets
