Last night kicked off the first event of the season in the open barn at the John Campbell Folk School.  The weather cooperated for the Brasstown Morris Dancers, Dames Rockets, and the Hoop Dancers.  Our weather went from hot and dry to cool and rainy over the past couple of weeks.  Last week we had over five inches of rain in two days.  Days of thick clouds put our house temperature in the mid-sixties and we put the heat back on.  Last evening was beautiful and very comfortable while watching the costumed dancers.  Individual slices of pie were sold to help fund the dancers upcoming trip to England in June where they'll perform in the streets of Britain.

The Morris Dancers.  The little performer on the right is the massage therapist that Barb and I go to.  She's little but she's mighty. 

The Dames Rockets.

We've been working on the shed.  Being that the shed is located on the mountain slant,  I needed a step to prevent me from rolling down the side of the mountain and into the creek. 

Cliff chopped roots and dug clay.

I didn't know how to fix my problem but he had a vision in his head.

After the wood is completely dry, I'll paint the deck and the steps grey.  The steps are attached to a 4x4 piece of treated wood for support.  We're in the process of putting down rock to stop erosion.
