Worked all day to get the first course of stone dry-laid on the underground roof ledge.  The sad part of that exercise is that Steve Osmer had already selected a bunch of rocks and put them on the ledge, ready for my final positioning.  As you enter the garage / storage area, your eye is immediately drawn to the wooden triangle, square, and circle that are inset into the face of the ledge… and consequently, the first rocks you notice are those just above those symbols.  So positioning those rocks to achieve a creditable artistic presentation was fussy work… that took all day.  Made arrangements to take Delores to the RV doctor (Pete’s RV Sales and Service in South Burlington) week after next.  Dan and I were invited to dinner Chez Lapidus, with grilled salmon, Kingsley corn, and blueberry pie on the menu.  Another delightful evening with our wonderful neighbors!
