Day 1--Snow Moon Rising

(Click on "Day 1" to go to a Picasa album link of photos) The word was out; the troops trickled in.  Geoffrey spent about 3 hours snowplowing the yard to create the quarry and at 4:00 Day 2 (photos here) commenced with Jake and Anne (strangers no more; now our best friends) pulled up outside ready to work. We worked until about 7:30, our numbers waxing--Jill, Amy and Mary Seaton, Sam and Nina, but mainly about 10 strong.  And strong we were! Especially once our fearless leader, John Corr, stepped in to show how how to best mix the mortar. Jake proved to be a very skilled brick maker and he punched those bad boys out one after another until we had 3 courses completed.  Good job!  Thanks to Mary for the beer and Amy for the warm clothes.  We are rolling....
                                      Next session is tomorrow, 2/3, from 3 until 7.
