Years
ago, it looked like this.
Abandoned.
A
couple years later, even more worse for the wear.
There
were local efforts to save the church and rehab it, but help didn’t arrive in
time. The remnants of a hurricane blew it down.
That
was the last insult. Money was donated. Volunteers rebuilt the
little historic Guadalupe Toreros Church.
That
was a couple years ago. We took a driveabout today to see how it’s doing.
Fully
functional and cared for.
The
FBI has a Violent Crime Section.
“If
an actual murder, kidnapping, or physical assault is recorded and distributed,
the FBI investigates the case as a violent crime, homicide, or civil rights
violation.”
Just
saying…
Comfortably
tucked in.
Just
the right amount of room between them.
But
now that we can get them both in side by side, we can see how much the carport
roof doesn’t fully cover the outside car. Now that the support has been
extended, it’s time to extend the carport roof out that extra distance as
well. That will finish up the job properly.
From
a post in the way.
To
wide open.
An
east west beam to support the north south beam, and the bothersome post is
gone.
Plenty
of room for two cars side by side. Perfectly functional.
And
now that it’s built, we can see exactly what else to do to make it just right.
The
weather forecast
Every
day, less than 90 degrees. Seems like we just hit our first forecast for
every day below triple digits! But another sure sign of fall. Some
thunderstorms, and (relatively) cooler weather.
Three
days ago we had swarms of hummingbirds. We were refilling feeders every
day. Suddenly, now, barely a bird. One or two here and there.
There are still a few ruby-throated migrants, but not very many. As
migrants, they might hang around for a few days, or even a week each, but
eventually they move on. Even though they don’t flock, they don’t travel
as a defined group, they might still arrive or leave together. That seems
to be what happened. They all got the same idea at the same time, and
poof.
