Home improvements seem to be the present fashion in our neighborhood. A new pool has been completed across the street and the fence of it's house is properly upgraded. Next door a retaining wall is in progress to hold river rock to replace the drought damaged grass in the front yard. Drought tolerant succulents and shrubs will be added to soften the look. On the street behind us the retaining walls are complete and plantings for winter are being added atop a healthy supply of mulch and additional topsoil. We seem to be stirring up more commotion than most. Our house boasts a new steel roof and a rather large garage is rising above concrete behind us. It has been fun to watch and I know the extra space will certainly provide some relief to our cramped household. Stone setters are working to give the garage a cohesive appearance with the house. It's coming together nicely but the slope to the garage door on the house side is going to be much steeper than I expected...why am I the only one surprised? I will occupy my thoughts with the shrubs and flowers that will need to be planted around the building!
Right now I just want to envision the pretty neighborhood when all this digging and pounding and rumbling ends!
