Construction -- of Schools and Houses

I took my camera with us to church this morning, and after the services, took some photos of the construction of the new school.  That structure in the middle that rises two stories (three, counting the basement) is the elevator shaft.

On the way home, we drove by Jeremy and Lydia's house.  Jeremy has removed the brick and stone from the front of their house, and will use it again on the new house.  The new basement walls are done.

We continued on home on Shady Lake Road.

The old gray donkey.  He's been at this farmplace for years and years.

Can you tell he was talking to me?  He was making all sorts of funny noises, squeaking, wheezing, whining, snorting, groaning...  Too bad I don't know Donkese, or we could have carried on quite the conversation.

Our house is just north of those two outbuildings up there.
