Sidewalk, fence, etc!

We finally have a sidewalk to our front door! It only took a year, but with cost over-runs on building the house we thought we could add this later. Of course walking on OSB for a year was not pretty. I wish the sidewalk had been completed by the time we hosted my office party, but weather did not cooperate. There were so many dry days during the summer and it would have been a perfect time for putting that in. Oh well.

Next is the fence for the dogs. Poor boys have been in a glorified pen and now we have the fence in the works. Should be in by sometime in February. It will go out into the wooded area so they can really run and stretch their legs. Smell interesting smells and maybe check-out some of the local fauna. Since deer season ended, I haven't seen any deer. I hope that some of them survived. I know from hearing gun shots that many probably did not.

We have lost power a few times the last couple of weeks. I have been really wanting a generator. When you have a well and pump, no power means no plumbing. I am not one to complain, but having plumbing is important to me! I would really like a water softener as well. Little by little we will get there.
