Quatorze Juillet (presque) - Brian Howard - HF Architecture

Sunny, warm, muggy, with a lake breeze. I don't work outside when it's hot. Or cold. When it's like that, it's time to enjoy the garden. With my dogs. I will discourage company from now until the weather turns comfortable again. One of my new perquisites.
