Lots of Heavy Lifting

We continue to make some progress on preparing the new house to move in. Today we emptied the storage space of all of my mother in law's old stuff. It's now all in the new garage, which is huge. That will save a lot in storage fees. Some of the pieces were huge and cumbersome, but we had a couple of friends who helped us, and that made things go a lot smoother.

After moving all the stuff we went to lunch and then returned to the house for some few little things. The sun was getting low and it was beautiful to watch as it filled the kitchen and living room with light. The floors are almost done and the red oak we chose for the living room is amazing.

A flock of quails nests near the house and they were out enjoying the evening as I left and walked towards this house. Upon my approach they took flight, filling the air with the soft sound of their wings. There is a lovely french noun that describes this type of soft, gentle sounds (bruissement). Alas, I do not know of an equivalent in english. Although it is litterally like "sounding" it does not carry the brassiness of this word. When I remember to take my camera up there, I will snap a shot of the flock and add it to some post.
