The Tempest

The well oiled machine of Aiki is in full throttle. Visiting the site is amazing. Framing crews, siding crews, electricians, plumbers....all working as well orchestrated parts of a complex machine. I do what I can do keep out of the way and watch it all unfold. Luke, our fabulous foreman, reminds me of Mickey Mouse in Fantasia; pointing, directing, and creating. Pardon the analogy...but this community is like a flower seed taking root, shooting up, and in no time bloom.



Last week however, the Millworks site stopped to a halt when the sub-arctic temperatures came along with snow, ice and lots of wind. The Sunday following the snow, I took a walk through the site. It was beautiful, a deserted paradise. I could imagine the community that will occupy the homes all outside playing and enjoying the magic the first snow fall brings. But for now, I soaked in the quite and beauty.
