Surveying the grounds

Since I last wrote the Lord has blessed this humble scribe. First, a plot of land, much of it already flat and cleared has been donated the the project. Secondly, I have found a painter with a gift for both speed and accuracy in his reproductions of the natural world in pigment. Below you can see the land that was purchased faithfully reproduced by out artist's hand.

I should note that while this project has been blessed beyond expectation, there are some big problems. The architect tells me the plot of land purchased is not big enough for the plans. This means a portion of the wall already in place needs to be brought down. The bigger problem is the direction the architect wants to expand the land there is much turmoil within the land. In one place it rises to the heights taller than any building with sheer and treacherous cliffs. In another the earth is giving birth to liquid fire. I'm told we won't need to deal with the fire, but I can't help but think of the danger so near to our work.

The image below is taken from the cliff we need to remove looking into the already cleared land. I believe it captures but the blessing of the purchase and the work still awaiting us.
