We’ve been getting some good work done on the house this week, both on the exterior doors and adobe in the front room.

This little curved part will be where the corner fireplace will go. Lots of cutting of bricks and fussing with mortar joints on this part. (Mortar is still wet in this picture, which is why it’s darker.)

The weather here has been nice, in the 70s during the day and close to, but not quite, freezing at night. (We’re supposed to dip down into the 20s this week. I wonder if that will be the end of my tomatoes.)
