Transformation inside and out

Wood floor delivery will wait for next week.  Nonetheless, things are changing rapidly these days, both in the house and the woods.

The track light pictured below, just installed, will illuminate the kitchen countertop that faces the dining room.

The crew was about to put the wall oven in place.  The fabulous painter and radiant floor guys were also busy this a.m.

French doors for the library went up this week, as well.  Cloudy today, so the pic is a bit dark, especially against the library's red walls.

Outside, you can find a delightful change in some of our young birches.  The bark is brown, smooth, and does not peel for a birch's first 10 years or so.  While walking earlier today (again, following moose tracks for a while), I found this yellow birch in transition stage.  The lovely, peeling, golden bark can be seen over the young bark about to go away.
