Pieces coming together

For the past week, I have left a jigsaw puzzle out every day for anyone passing by to work on. The puzzle is a Thomas Kinkade painting of "home"....a log cabin set in a pastoral landscape.  Tomorrow morning it will be the last object placed on the container wall; and the final star-shaped wounds will be applied.

 The placement of the stars has gone very quickly....instead of being several days behind, I am now several days ahead.  However, it continues to be sunny, which makes work very difficult in the middle part of the day.....and yet the sun goes down and it is DARK by 5:30 pm.  This makes for a shorter work day lately.  That Taiwanese one of the artists lent me has been a blessing.
