on top of the roof
on a cold and windy day—
a game of ladders
Five ladders, three on this side, two on the other. I looked up, all the way up to the roof of the house—pulled over, got out of the car, walked back and snapped a couple of pictures. Two additional workmen on the sidewalk across the street smiled and asked me if I wanted to go up there. “No thanks,” I said, “not my cup of tea!”
