Randomness # 132

I've been busy with work and work... and more work.

Here is one of my two homes away from home:

I have managerd to get out to a farmer's market here and there too.

And took a stroll in St Louis' s fabulous Tower Grove Park

As well as a hike or two.

Saw this fella enjoying breakfast at Lone Elk Park.

And had a beautiful hike along the St Francis River in Fredricktown.
This river is the ONLY river in Missouri with whitewater
(in the spring they hold kayak races through the rapids).

And I have one more thing done in the kitchen:

The fancy-for-show mostly vent hood is up!

I have to still tile, and do lighting,

but it is coming alone.

Maybe it will be done by Christmas.
*sigh*
