You say Moth - I say Butterfly




I thought this was the most amazing and gigantic butterfly I had ever seen - little did I know it is actually a moth. It is still quite remarkable, don't you think? Look at the size of its legs and body - huge!

A New toy for Digi and Kalila


Just kidding but we sure wish this was ours - we could definitely use it and get a lot of work done. They left this up there when they were finished with the driveway. I was so so tempted to climb abroad and give it a whirl.

Septic tank beginnings


The soil testing has been completed and all looks good to go ahead and begin putting in the septic tank. We have such hard rock up on the ridge that they have to bring in this huge cutter thingy to slice thru the rock. It is rather scary looking. Now Miss Kalila Boo you can't build a playhouse down in that hole. Maybe we can talk Momo into building you one up in a tree. :)

And More Driveway



These shots may give you a better view of what it actually looks like. We got the estimate back on the septic tank and it was quite a bit less than what the contractor quoted us with his person. We went with someone we know and he gave us a great price plus he is our neighbor so we know he does good work.

Expanding Driveway




As you can see we have had to widen the driveway in order to do everything needed for the house. We liked our old driveway better but we really did not have a choice. They will put the crushed rock back down when the construction is finished - so for now it is back to dirt. Can't you just see Digi zooming down that hill on his Big Wheel - I can but only with Nana or Momo at the bottom to catch him. Over protective Moms only lead to Over Protective Nana's :) Well - it is a big hill.
