Delays and Visitors

The Good News: The foundation has been poured! The Bad News: It rained last week and we're now in a holding pattern. The rain caused the mason a delay in his previous job, so he hasn't even been to our site yet. There actually hasn't been any new work done at our place in over two weeks. The log stack is still scheduled for June 4, 5, and 6, but the contractors will be working LONG days and weeks to be ready in time. If you're in the area, come join us for the log stack on Tuesday, June 5th!

Our friends, Lynn and John, came to see the site the last weekend of April. We hiked through oak trees, shrubbery (makes you think of Monty Python, doesn't it?), and rocks to the top of the property. Afterwards we went to lunch to celebrate Lynn's birthday at a great little Mexican restaurant in Georgetown, about 10 minutes from our property.

Last Sunday, May 6th, we had more visitors at the site. These visitors were the four-legged variety. Man! They are SO fast and graceful! There were three of them and they seemed to be having a game of follow the leader. By the time I got my camera functioning, one was long gone, but I captured two on film. I suppose once we move into the house and these beautiful creatures begin to eat my garden and flowers I may not be so complimentary of them...but I hope that doesn't happen.

Sorry we haven't posted very often, but there just hasn't been much happening. I imagine we'll be fast and furious here pretty quick...at least that's what we're hoping for!
