The Great New Addition

This photograph was taken this very afternoon when my favorite contractor put the Little Free Library on its pole and stand.

I think you may have gathered from previous grumbling, that we have limited handy person skills here.

On the other hand, this dear man was happy to build my little building, make it waterproof, weatherproof, attractive, sturdy and he did it all quickly.

These tasks remain to be done.  I need to move the pile of dirt and stones which Good Guy dug up to make a hole for the 4x4 and the cement.  I need to print and distribute the letter I drafted to invite my neighbors to borrow books, for we are eager to share.  And I need to choose books to put into the box.  That part sounds like the most fun.

So Little Free Library, Number 2588 is almost up and running.  We are pretty excited!

These Critters are The Contractor's animal companions.  They would dearly love to be out of the car licking his ears while he secured the house to the stand.  Meet Fritz and Suzette.  Suzette, the older black poodle, is quite a proper, fun-loving dog.  But TC says that Fritz is fun impaired.  He won't chase a frisbee, but he runs around because Suzette does.  Perhaps he'll learn as he goes.

Thanks for all your concern and good wishes.  I am feeling fine as long as I avoid fats.  It's pretty easy when you know it makes you feel uncomfortable.

So now I'd better get at my librarian duties.  Come back soon and borrow a book!
