Hubby’s birthday was earlier this month and he got to pick out his present!  And let me tell you he is just like a kid with a new toy!

The new toy – we might need a bigger barn!

Or at least a bigger opening!

Hauling a stump away from the front “yard” to the side yard!

And like all nice kids – he shared his new toy! This is our builders son and he is a doll!

I had not seen the progress on our home for 2 weeks so it was fun to walk around – but I spent more time visiting with future neighbors than taking photos.  Lilly and David were at their property adding to their pile of fire wood.  Lonnie stopped by on his ATV while his wife was out horseback riding in the neighborhood.  Pat and Joni stopped on their way home from a Sunday matinee, she said Million Dollar Arm is the best film she has seen in a long time and she looks forward to seeing it again!  And while grandpa was running the tractor the Red Horned Deer that resemble elk went running between our property and the neighbors a couple of times.

The back porch trusses, cedar ceiling goes up next week

A view from the street, walking back from Lilly and David’s little piece of heaven!

Looking forward to a long weekend coming up.  I teach on Saturday (check out my schedule on the left for where and when I will be in your area), then we will head to the property with a couple of chain saws and hopefully a lot of ambition!

Have a great week!
