Railing finished (before the snow!)

The finishing touches are happening around the house. Some painting, caulking and a few other small things remain undone. Yesterday, I made the last section of railing for the upper deck. It was a mild day, temperature-wise, so I hurried to complete the railing. Sam and I secured it to the posts last night, using the light from the bedroom to illuminate the scene. The weather was comfortable. But just hours later, a strong cold front blew in. Rain turned to snow. This afternoon the scene is different.
