Today’s hike led us a mile down the road to our potential new house site, where we have a huge collection of 8,000 handmade roof tiles to remind us that we haven’t yet built our house on which these tiles are supposed to make up the roof. It’s good to take this hike on occasion so we don’t forget, which, with our busy schedules, is so easy to do. “Oh, yeah, we should remember to build that house one of these days,” we’re reminded when we re-encounter this enormous two-deep tile pile.Busy, busy.

Did you make them from good old Ahwahnee clay?
We got them in Madera from a now-defunct adobe brick factory. They were made for a big restoration project in So Cal, but the color of the tiles didn’t meet the architect’s liking and they were rejected. We bought them at cost. The clay probably came from Sacramento, where there are many clay quarries.
