Continued laying between-column rocks, using the absolute dregs from the pile. You might say I’ve reached rock bottom. Or maybe not… Alverta arrived late morning to see the progress since her last visit in mid-August. With her help got the rest of the eighth course and all but four sections of the ninth course ready for parging. She says I should plan to live in the shed cellar, it looks so nice. Chree will make that decision… Lynne came over at noon and brought a lentil soup plus corn bread for lunch. Quite yummy! After them good eats, Alverta and I paddled Hopea Kanootti down to the boat access ramp at the southern end of Fern Lake and then used her car (which has a roof rack just for that purpose) to bring the canoe back to the shed cellar for winter storage. Went over to Kate and Dan’s for an great lasagna dinner and to catch up on news, not having seen them for nearly three months. Stayed up far too late sitting around their campfire roasting marshmallows…
