Putting down our roots...



What you see there is our future mode of transportation. The subdivision where our home is being built is off of what our new town refers to as a "scenic way."   One of many so called scenic ways.  Silly me, so unrefined.  I'd always thought they were just dirt roads.  Although admittedly, the only time I've ever seen dirt roads is on episodes of The Dukes of Hazard.   So now giving directions to our new home (because it ain't on no GPS maps) will include the phrase "turn off the paved road."  If you plan on visiting during the spring thaw or rainy season, you'd better have a lift kit and locking diffs.   You have been forewarned


After  many months of sub-freezing temps, we finally saw our first 50+ degree day today.  This introduced us to something we'll have to develop a tolerance or appreciation for: mud.

Excavator on site now starting to pull all the stumps. Town rule says that no stumps can be left in place or buried.  Having pulled down 50-100 pine trees on our forest lot, someone's got their work cut out for them,   Before we can put down our roots, these roots will need to go.

Stand back...he's gonna hurl
