Studio Windows...

Here is a view of the studio windows which face North... the best light for an artist.

Our builder hopes to have the windows installed by Friday and the whole house lock tight... difficult to imagine right now but progress has been swift in glorious 62 degree weather and sunshine!
Chance of snow tomorrow... 50% but only showers!

What a glorious December day...unbelievable blue skies and warming sun...we can hardly believe our good fortune (given that one week ago the crew had to stop work for snow showers so dense they could barely see...)

As Nicholas chose the front of the front of the house for his image today and I have chosen the back of the house, we can see with such clarity, the way light will flow in the house and influence the different rooms, the different spaces. 

On top of the roof is the amazing Ralph Varn, designer/builder and framed in the Master Bedroom window, is his brother, Rick. They have been building houses together for over 30 years. Ralph told us yesterday that he and Rick used to haul the roof joists up by hand when they began. How blessed we are to have such skill and craftsmanship available to us in the process.

A slightly different note, but oddly related to laying foundations and creating spaces to flourish...I assisted in my first class at the Fingers Lakes School of Massage today, I have been invited to join an extraordinary faculty and staff here in Ithaca...and a very big part of me feels I have come home.
