Roof Joists...

Here are the roof joists... hopefully on Friday they will lowered into place by a giant crane.



Its hard to imagine how they will look, but we will do our best to be there when it happens.
Meanwhile, ice on the pond has formed and reformed every morning:


A fabulous metaphor for uncertain times.

Late autumn is most assuredly here, frosty mornings leave their imprint on the evergreen trees on the opposite side of the pond, Christmas lights are already on rooftops and evergreens, Thanksgiving has passed...

And here in Ithaca, at the Farmer's Market, I am reminded of two other autumnal gifts...

The smell of cinnamon baking...
and the beauty of dried flowers in bouquets and wreaths...
The deep golds and yellows of strawflowers, stand in bright relief against the periwinkle statice and green-blue echinops. In the floral dance of shapes and colours, I see the brilliance of the late November sky, the hope of spring, the sustenance that comes when beauty is sought and found.
