Winter Wonderland

Just in time for Thanksgiving, Mother Nature delivered a fresh blanket of holiday decoration.

Country Roads, Take Me Home

Around town there are lots of what the locals call "scenic" roads.  Dirt roads that have been, and always will be, dirt roads.  Much of the time they're a bother of rocks, dust, mud, and ruts.  But around foliage season?  It's like living in a painting.

The Green, Green Grass...Of Home

Around here, it's been as exciting as watching grass grow...

Water is life, and I am the giver

Hose down the driveway,

flow to the river.

Hot Top

Here's the paving crew in action, laying down a base coat of asphalt for the driveway.  With this and the walkways now in place, we stand a half decent chance of walking into the house without tracking in a mountain of dirt.

Now let's get a little grass and it'll look like a real home.

Tetris, anyone?

This is where we will soon be grillin' & chillin'.

Gonna Make This Place Our Home

The big day has finally arrived!   The building inspector gave a big thumbs up the other day and granted a certificate of occupancy. 

The moving crew returned today to get everything settled just about where it needs to be.  We're spending one last night at the hotel, then packing up the circus and moving over to the house tomorrow. Dozens and dozens of boxes to unpack, but after 4 moves in 1 year I suspect we'll have it all done in short order.
