Porch Progress

The foundation of the utility room and the piers for the porch went up today.


They are about 3 days behind schedule now due to weather, and more rain is expected Monday and Tuesday.  Tomorrow they do the back fill around the foundation, and Friday the termite guy comes to treat the site. 


This is a plant I bought several years ago at the backyard plant sale.  Someone told me it is a Mexican primrose, but I haven't verified it, so it could be something else.  The flowers are such a bright yellow that it is hard to get a good picture of them.  Look at the glare on the flowers.  It was cloudy when I took this picture, and I still got the glare. 


The only way I found to get rid of the glare was to photograph the flowers from behind.  But then you can't see the shape of the flower.  I think I am better at growing flowers than I am photographing them.
