A walk, making trusses and a phone call!!

While I walked this morning Ken went to Lowe's to get the lumber for making the trusses for the upper shed.  Couldn't go last night because it rained.  I walked into town and up to the first cemetery.  The pink phlox growing there looked so pretty.  I call it mountain pink because that's what my mom called it.

It was 55 degrees and the sun was out and it was very windy but the wind was warm.  I saw a groundhog and a bunch of rabbits.  The rabbits here don't stand still to get their picture taken.  They took off like a shot when I got near.  I guess the ones around the lake are used to people walking by.  I also saw a lot of red winged black birds and some gold finches as well.

Ken picked me up in town on his way back from Lowe's and we came home and ate breakfast.

I walked 5.8 miles.

We started on the trusses soon after breakfast.  We got all the wood cut to the right sizes and then put all the pieces in the truck with all the tools we would need and drove it up the hill.  We worked all day except for lunch and we stopped to take a phone call which I'll tell you about in a bit.

Here's one of the trusses as we lay it out and put the pieces together.

We made seven of the things and just have the last two to make which are the two ends and they have a different pattern to them. That will be for tomorrow.

Now for that phone call we got.  It was Terri our realtor telling us we got an offer on the townhouse!!!!!!  Full price!!!  As long as the house appraises for what we are asking and it passes the inspection it looks like the townhouse is sold.  : )
We went to Uno's for supper to celebrate.

Hope your day has been one of sunshine and good happenings for you.
Happyone : )
