I finally made some progress laying block... slow but sure

It was a BEAUTIFUL day here on our Tennessee mountain... a GREAT day to be alive for sure! This was my first day of actual corner-to-corner-fill-in-the-blocks block laying. I'm making progress although it is slow... getting the first course level is so critical but I expect to pick up some steam as I continue to lay & learn. This is a picture of the first course on the west wall that I laid today... I am pleased with it being straight and level... more laying tomorrow if I can drag my sore 61 year old body out of bed tomorrow morning.
