Rob preparing a platform for the opening ceremony and the blessing of the house we will build for Habitat for Humanity, once the storm flooded basement dries out!

So after being concerned about this wet and once moldy (still?) countertop being installed back in the kitchen, and saying I'd have the kitchen retested for mold after the work was finished, I was rewarded with an eviction notice. Nice!

A violent storm lit up the sky tonight.

A beautiful morning sky on the way to work this morning.

Mold in the kitchen, seriously adding to my stress with Mum coming next week.

Learning all about casters today!

An abandoned hotel room in Harpers Ferry.

Picked up my fresh eggs this afternoon and was told they were "still warm, fresh from the chickens' bum!" A major case of TMI methinks.

An awesome evening with friends at Carlyle in Arlington. Great food, conversation and wine.

Beautiful fall colors in the gourds and pumpkins. I can't wait for Mum to arrive so we can decorate the house together.

I love metallic ink!

Something I take for granted, looking at it every day, but my computer work space is really pretty, and this is only a corner

An abandoned chapel in Laurel, MD.

A beautiful sky this afternoon.

Kota looking indignant as Rosie tries to see what's in the empty container.

I never tire of seeing the morning mist rolling over the fields.

A pair of old pumps at Seneca Rocks.

A horse racing vest hanging at the front of a house in Marshall.

This is the new soon-to-be homeowner of the house that I'm going to help build with Habitat for Humanity. We break ground at the end of this month.

Looks like Google are updating their maps in Fairfax and Chantilly.

Stuart having new tires fitted.

A beautiful avenue of trees I came across today.

The Scottish Games at The Plains, just down the road from Marshall.

I loaded up Stuart and did a flea market today. Sold nearly everything. Success!
