Just as today's storm arrived.

Our original plan was a checkerboard, but when we started to build the patio we discovered that the red squares were 1/4" smaller than the grey squares (we foolishly assumed that 12" meant 12"). Thus, stripes. Thanks, Lowes. That last row's gonna be painful. Patio project; Joan's parents' house. We'll get done tomorrow.

A year ago I shot one of my stranger photo sets--most were oddly framed, and many were poorly executed. But the best were interesting. This one's of the blankets and pillows on our sofa. ========== My daily photo was of a door and exterior wall at the Roxand Township fire station, and of the sign by the door. I like the sign, and the wall's geometry. Mulliken's fire station burned down in 1992, a spectacular side effect of a thoughtless prank. The fire was a disaster for village records--both the township hall and the archives in the town library were wiped out--but the new fire station's a far more attractive building than the old pole barn it replaced. Because, like the (new) library , it's a convenient downtown subject, I photograph the fire barn regularly. I'd posted a photo using it as a frame to 366 Snaps a few days before this one; I'd add another outside door to the photo-a-day set a few days on. Then I'd capture the place again in June. I suppose there's a lesson for daily photo projects in there, somewhere. ========== This photograph is an outtake from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps .
