Pink Mortar
Mortar is colored by adding pigment to the mix. The finer pigment particles become a part of the mortar matrix as the mortar is mixed with water. The pigments do not dye the material but disperse and surround the material in the mortar once it's mixed.
Two blue flecks.

My earliest memory is of my dad shoveling coal down the chute for the furnace. I was almost two.
Christy, he had said, Go back inside.

What you don't see is the existing structure and organization. How shelves were built into the clay bank under the tent.
That when the tent flaps are opened, the inside is magically white on a sunny day. The floor is terraced. Looking up is like looking at gills of a musroom. The tree branches along with long pieces of drift wood form spokes under the skylight.
If you're reading this thinking want to stop by rethink that. A man, exiled from society for reasons you may want to consider, doesn't want your curiosty or company.
Respect.
