Monday; Tom the excavator arrived and starting moving the earth, he moved earth for 9 hours that day. His job is to grade the yard, but also to dig a gentle swale from one end of the yard by the field, to the other end of the yard by the woods, for rain water to flow through. Our property is on a downhill slope and we hope this swale will divert any water from the house foundation. Tom has told me that this is the time to think of anything I want done that involves bulldozing, like moving some really big rocks that I'd like to work into the landscaping, so I've been giving this a lot of thought!
Tuesday; The heating and air conditioning guy was here on this day and installed the central air conditioner! Happy Day!!
Wednesday; Tom is back today, probably to finish the job. It's hot and humid, and bulldozers are noisy, so I've shut all the windows and doors and turned on the air conditioner! I'm staying inside today, I have more than enough to keep me busy indoors.. I don't even make lists anymore, there's so much to do - inside and outside- no one needs a list! I have so many idea's and plans running through my mind, and bumping into each other! I think it will be like this all summer, although we hope to be done by the end of July and then plan an open house! The garden is planted now, except for the 75 marigolds that I started from seed and will plant around the border of the garden. It would be perfect if I have the landscaping done before I start harvesting the garden. If my garden grows, I'll be doing a lot of canning this year!
note: Tom just came to talk to me, I had him step inside to get cooled off! He said he'd be nearly done today, still has some earth moving to do, then finishing the driveway. I'll add some pictures later.
