Roof testing

The new red roof as seen from on top of a nearby hillside


We got our 2nd flood of 2013 today.

A good test for the new red roof.

The only homesteading that got done today was when Anna climbed up our hillside and snapped this shot.

Funny, I was just looking at your radar and thinking "I hope they got that roof done. I like the red! [It looks like a lot more rain to come.]

I was also just thinking what Zimmy said, things are looking very cozy indeed. Nicely done.
