Time Flies

It's been busy the past few weeks! First of all let me report:

The tree guy showed up.

So it started out looking like this:

And all we took were the scraggly pine trees...and one tree that needed to be removed so that we could dig the basement. The ferns will become lawn. And from where I am taking this photo there is a stream behind me. It's a little ways behind me, but there none the less.

So the tree guy shows up........sort of. The trees are down....but not chipped and removed. "He'll be here soon." Well we aren't holding our breath. The excavator just moved the trees aside so he could dig.

And here's the basement:

Pine trees are piled up at the end.......and also over to your left from this view.

Here's a view where you can see all the nice trees and lush surroundings:

They are pouring cement walls on monday for our basement. It doesnt' look very deep from that photo, but it's a walkout basement, so we aren't completely underground.

Lots to report........Missaukee County Agricultural Youth Show, picnic at Green Acres with Grandpa & Grandma, etc....but I'll leave that for next time.

Have a great weekend everyone! :)
