A totally yucky morning, so went over to Lynne & Perry’s to do two week’s worth of laundry.  Didn’t get back to Fern Lake until 1:30 pm – I had a LOT of dirty clothes.  By then the rain had abated, so worked in the shed cellar hole for the rest of the afternoon laying and parging rocks.  Added another course of Calais sauna stones to the section I did yesterday.  After being subjected to repeated heat and water stress for a couple of decades, those rocks have some amazing colors.  Also put Vermont back where it belongs, but not without considerable difficulty… just didn’t want to stay put.  Needless to say, the brace holding it in position is being left in place overnight. The last pile of snow in the Lapidus’ yard finally disappeared overnight, so I guess this means that spring has sprung.
