Roofless in Raleigh

This is the vision that greeted us today:





I couldn't help myself, and went inside and climbed up the pull-down ladder into the attic. Kind of a cool view, as long as you don't actually have to live in the house!


The backyard crap pile - and you can [sort of] see the slab has been poured


Another surprise: These irises finally bloomed this year! I took this as a sign (although of what, exactly, I'm not sure).
