This week's Red Letter Day was Thursday, February 28, 2013.  Little Noah Anthony Verrett was born in Houston, Texas.  The newest quail in the covey!  Congratulations to Laura, Daniel and big brother Jacob!

Meanwhile, back at the ranch:

 ...from the bottom of the property.

 the framers are almost finished with the east wing, with the roof joists down on the north half, and the plywood sheathing almost complete. They will probably finish the south half of the roof on Monday, and then they will tackle the living areas where everything comes together.

 You can see the garage door openings far right.

 ...the viewpoint of the neighbor to the west.

 

 

...the Guadalupe Shimmer.  Beats the heck out of the Harlem Shake.
