Slow march towards ground breaking

Things keep moving forward in our slow march towards ground breaking. The silt fence is being installed Monday, and we have the excavator scheduled to break ground late next week. We're still waiting on a final driveway permit, so until that comes through Sean will continue to delve into and cut back the poison ivy infested shoulder near the entrance to the private drive.

While Sean was working at the lot burning some brush piles, Peter and I came out for a visit. It was a fantastic, sunny day, so we snapped some fun pictures of Peter showing off his newly debuted ability to sit on his own. I also got some nice shots of the rushing creek while we were there. It's easy to take photos of both; they're beautiful things to watch.

The first photo is the view of the lot from the driveway we've made off the private drive. The smoke on the left is coming from the brush piles Sean had going all day. The clump of tall trees in the center is an island that will be in the middle of the circle driveway.
