The summer has been filled with transitions—finishing up a half dozen projects and moving onto another dozen…some in design, others being permitted, others just starting and yet others well underway.

Sometimes, when words and tears cannot suffice—the only thing left to pour out my heart is write. Yesterday was such a day. I had gone to the newly completed barn at Smuggler’s Notch and took dozens of pictures—many of which are culled into this post. I met with our amazing and perseverant client, Steve DePalma,
