A BEAUTIFUL, mostly sunny day.  By 10:00 had stripped down to just a T-shirt for working; reached 80 degrees mid-afternoon.  Took two tries, but managed to cut and shape a large stone to form an arch over Vermont… that way there will be no downward pressure on the effigy rock from the two courses above.  The twelfth course and parts of the thirteenth and fourteenth courses, now are complete, except for the one section stuck at eight courses awaiting an electrical switch box installation.  A great day topped off by an even nicer evening – steak dinner at Chez Lapidus.
