When will it be our turn?

Summer is coming to a scorching end and the new school year is just around the calendar corner. What does this mean? 

It means youCgreen has about 9 months to be completed. Nine months seems like a long time but I know the weeks will whiz by. My late roommate, Teresa, would always wish she could freeze time. Gosh, me too. 


I use chess as a metaphor to explain the project's progress to those who ask about it. I have the players ready and set in place, now it's just a matter of making the right moves...and then...check mate. I've discussed and collaborated with the right people, exchanged ideas, sent emails...so far, it's looking good. 


On a relevant side note, I came across an article about a recent ( and huge) green roof installation at Hamline University in St. Paul, Minnesota.

When will it be our turn? I hope everyone's staying cool in this crazy heat. I bet you have your AC blasting! You know a green roof would significantly help those rising costs. Just sayin'.
