For Crying Out Loud

Okay, yesterday was actually tomorrow, but we'll pretend.

This is what it looked like two days after yesterday's photos. By that I mean, the Friday after Thanksgiving.

Here is how it looks now. I was amazed by the speed of the progress, but it is all outside. They wanted to seal it up before the winter weather struck. They haven't sided it yet, so the Tyvek is sort of blowing in the wind.

From the Front

It is a bit bigger than it looks from the front.

And here is the new tree! With the farmers responsible. It is a beech tree, a tri-color European beech. It goes from pink to dark purple. It is named Sylvia. It will grow up to be a big tree, as in a big tree. Possibly even a big tree, but not terribly soon. By that I mean, it is a slow growing tree. I have always wanted a beech tree. I think they are really beautiful, majestic trees. It will need to be pruned, but not until Spring 2008.
