Here's David Rousseau, our architect friend, checking the plans as we layed out the footprint of the house in preparation for excavation. Yes we did do this once before, just to see how the house fits on the site, but this time it was a lot more accurate.
View looking south across the house site. The flagging tape marks the footprint.
Fall colours in the hazel nut trees as the winter rye steadily grows in the garden area. I love this time of year with its warm colours and earthy smells and the sounds of the migrating geese... and the tree frogs...
At this point I am getting close to the end of my first "season" here in May's Garden on Cortes Island. I will be no doubt making some visits over the winter but for the most part, it's time to say goodbye to this piece of land and this island until next spring.
I will post the revised house design next week.
Thank you for your many kind comments about this blog. It is a real pleasure to be living it!
Andy
