Monday was a blur. The weather was perfect, monarch butterflies were swarming the island and we had a work party of window warriors and more arrive with a journalist documenting Seguin as unique home.

They traveled by boat and dinghy with windows, lumber and lots of camera gear. Amazingly, only our feet got wet.

They installed two complete windows in the foyer; finished, caulked and painted a window in the museum; blasted and pointed brick mortar; stowed benches; installed window grates; packed up the store and museum; and greased the tram’s cable.

While at the same time, butterflies swarmed and a Coopers hawk and several sharp shinned hawks circled the island.
