After not having any hex signs to paint in a while, it would appear they, to, come in cycles. First the order for the small outdoor Love and Happy Home, which sent me to the lumber yard for more plywood and turned the dining room into a wood shop once again, now more.

The report is good, he apparently...

Y'all are likely going to get tired of reading my raps about the cool mornings, but you have to realize that I am still in awe of Maine's climate. After all, other than a brief winter in the NC mountains, I had been in the south -- in places where "summer" is a 9-month event -- since 1998 when I moved from Portland, OR to Austin TX.
