Progress......



















Progress comes in all forms.....lately we are seeing progress as we see the portapotty move six feet closer to our front door. Really, you ask? Yes, because that means they are working harder on the retaining wall that is going where the portapotty used to be. Little steps!!! We have seen quite a bit of progress this week. The pictures may not depict this, but these workers are dedicated. Every morning on the dot, 7:00 a.m. they begin and work until 4:00 or so. Even they are excited to be doing something other than jack hammering the ever present 'rock' beneath the soil. It is actually fun to see them so excited about their work. We have been told to look forward to Halloween, that is the projected completion date. Good thing we live in California and not in a snowy state (I decided not to name any particular snowy state...).


The first picture shows where the truck used to be, the palms gone, the tree gone, and where the firepit and more grass will be in the future.


I need lessons in blogging. I can't seem to move the pictures where I want them to match my words. Hopefully, you can figure this out. Thanks for sharing in our project.
