Oh boy, it was noisy yesterday. The concrete truck was hummin' away as half a dozen men worked in the hole laying forms and guiding the cement. It was terribly hot work. :(
This is the view from Simon's den.
Eeeek! I believe he left early and headed back to the wood-lot where many of his chippy friends reside. There are nests of chipmunks in the wood piles that I stay clear of and just leave food near-by. I'm going to owe this little guy big-time. Better stock up on his favorite nuts.
The day started early and Audrey got herself positioned for the morning. The little sausage.
I put on a James Taylor cd and acted like all was normal.
It was a productive day and today the footings were removed and the hose whatchamacallit was placed. Next the forms will be put in.
While the dirt flew, I baked a few blueberry muffins for tea breaks. Then I managed to get around all the chaos and pick a few things from our slow-growing gardens.
This basket is heading out.
So, even though we have had record-breaking rain this spring and summer, our garden is producing slowly but surely.
Time for a tea-break. Enjoy your day.
hugs, Deb

So much noise! Love how you are making the best of it all!
ReplyDeleteSimon is definitely perplexed by it all!
ReplyDeleteAudrey, your glare is always a welcome sight.
O can imaging how noisy it must be now for you all but oh so worth it when all is said and done . Lovely pics . We haven't had a drop of rain in ages we need rain badly seems the rain clouds just keep missing us down here ! Thanks for sharing , have a good day !
ReplyDeleteAudrey the sausage ♥
ReplyDeleteBlueberry muffins and the start of a new home. Could things be any lovelier ?
Bless little Audrey. She looks like a burrito.
ReplyDeleteAudrey's photo made me laugh out loud (sorry, laughing with you Audrey, not at you). Tea & muffins, perfect ...
ReplyDeleteWhere I grew up, many houses were still being built around ours, and we spent a lot of time playing with electric wiring and other building materials. It's probably not so much fun at my current age, so I sympathize! Audrey, you little sweet-um!
ReplyDeleteAudrey, you little burrito, you! They are making great progress - I do feel for you, as I live on the path of two gravel pits and on most days, it is thundering dump trucks, coming and going. Nice choice in music! :)
ReplyDeleteYou'll be so glad to put this all behind you, but how wonderful to have a house you designed and built yourselves!!
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of your bountiful garden spoils. (Maybe "spoils" is a bad word because nothing spoiled about those!) And Audrey in the "position." The loud stuff -- at least that part of the loud stuff -- will be over soon! Hang in there, Audrey!
