Today I was awakened to the not-so-delightful sounds of enormous dump trucks, (you know the ones that are a dump truck and they haul a trailer behind?) dumping truck load after truck load of dirt behind my house. Then the most incredibly noisey and squeaky (do they not grease the tracks on those things??) grader began shoving the dirt and rocks around. I had to fight the urge to throw a can of WD40 over the fence to the driver. It wasn't even eight in the morning. It wasn't even 7:30 yet. So I reluctantly arose from my bed and cleaned up the kitchen. After it was spotless, I went back upstairs to my freeze-zone (the only room in the house with AC) to do some online banking and make calls to check on medical bills, etc. As I was finishing up, in walks my husband! At first I had a moment of Oh-no-he's-lost-his-job terror. Then it passed after he smiled. Seems they ran out of work for the day. Odd, but then that's Boeing. So hubby was roped into going school cloth

WOW.
ReplyDeleteThats kind of disenheartening. but your neat slideshow makes me wish i'd done the same thing when the development down the way went up...just as quick, with just as big an impact on the view. from 1 house and a garden, a creek and a lot of overgrown property to ATTACK OF THE INSTANT SUBDIVISION!!
(()!
I would be using more than a 'discouraging' word if I had to say goodbye to that beautiful view!
