A Week In a Dream

 We stayed in Oakland, California for my friend's daughter's wedding in this Epic Historic Mansion.  All photos shown in this post are by Sharon Roeble, unless otherwise noted.  Enjoy!

 

S.O.B. Inside is coming along...

 I took a visit to the San Francisco Bay Area for a couple of weeks and am happy to see that more progress was made inside the Studio Out Back.  The garden squash continued to grow, of course, and some of them grew too big!  Maybe they will turn into nice gourds?

 

 Overgrown crookneck squash and newly assembled folding Adirondack chair that I painted "Summer Squash" for sitting on the S.O.B. front porch.

S.O.B. Progress

 What a difference a few weeks makes in the garden!

S.O.B. (Studio Out Back) is buttoned up!

Buttoned up on the outside and patched back together from the journey across the street, now I can progress to the next steps:  Insulation and finish work on the inside and landscaping on the outside.  Happy.
