The Life for Me

It would be a nice place for a pool -- heated of course. But to tell the truth it's the beginning of our basement. We started poking around to see how dense the rock would be and before we knew it we had pretty much gone the "hole" way down. This shot here is of Melvin working through the spot where the master bath goes while John looks on thinking about where the diving board should be. Cannonball!!

If you look close you can start to see a little color coming through. It will be interesting to see if the cold temps and rain this week have any impact. Enjoy the view!

Things are still looking mighty green. I think that it is going to be one of those years where the leaves change and fall off over a period of a couple days. Plan your trip now. It's going to be a short viewing session.

Huge amounts of rain came down over the weekend. For the most part the new road did well handling the large amounts of water. The area at the bottom of the main slope did better than expected, although it definately needs improvements. The new pond spot filled up and the creek rose more than four feet for a good part of the day. It was good to get the rain for the fields. Hopefully the trees and foilage will benefit as well.

One site failed but an alternate site passed.

No significant color change seen as of yet. I'll try to provide weekly updates throughout the month.
