Yesterday was the first official day of the fall season.  Rather than blogging twice in one day I decided to wait until today to capture what is currently colorful in the garden.  What a lovely way to spend the crisp morning, sipping coffee and taking pictures of the start to a beautiful transformation.  

Progress on the detached foundation for a future structure is taking shape!  Having projects going on both sides of the property at the same time is dizzying.  Our building team of W.H. Smith and R. Smith construction have collaborated with us every step of the way.  Not only are these guys amazingly skilled with the technical aspects of what they do but they are also creative problem solvers who appreciate our waste-not aesthetic.  Saving nearly all the excavated fill and boulders as for future garden landscaping is a bonus we are thrilled to include as part of our long term plan!  BEHOLD GORGEOUS GRANITE BOULDERS!!!

Over a month since the last blog post and we are FINALLY seeing the excavator parked in the front yard.  Here we are past mid September... 4 months behind schedule.  Who knew it would be such a struggle to get this project underway!  Digging is set to start tomorrow morning and since we have this big beautiful machine parked and ready to go first thing, it feels like we might actually see some holes being dug!  We have faith in our builder and we know he will do his best to make up for the time lost.  Very excited for the new creative spaces.
