I just took another walk around, trying for a few photos if the joist work. Got three before the lens cover again refused to open. Drat. It's just so wet out there, it's hard to keep fine moisture droplets from upsetting the mechanism.

I picked up another 25 pounds of clay, then found a couple of Tete a Tete daffodil bulbs lying on the surface; remains of the wildflower and bulb garden that was under the big pine we had to remove. I just found a spot to tuck them in and shoved some of the excavated earth over them.

Tomorrow...yurt arrival and two hours of coordinated off loading before the weary tractor trailer drivers head home. The rim and skylight have to come off first, and the skylight, doors, and trim must be stored out of the weather. Next, time spent watching the final organization of all of the pallets. Each will be wrapped in heavy plastic, so any tarps we can borrow will keep the anticipated incoming 6" of snow from freezing on.

If I were Eloise, I'd be calling Room Service about now.
