Now what?!

So a couple of days ago this arrives, ten loads of fill.  Looks like the beginning of the Rocky mountains.

So then this arrives, well while we are at it we might as well ......  Enter a company called Slope Enhancement ( I just love their name).

 

Now we have this in progress.  The rock wall is being placed around the front of the lot and the soil will be built up so that we can plant a lawn.

I am tired out from all this renovating.  Lizzie has become an outdoor cat since we moved up stairs because she kept on escaping, and it was difficult to corral her.  She is thoroughly enjoying herself.  So far she has brought home a mouse and a garden snake.  Both still alive.  I can visualize her coming through the dog door with snake in mouth.  Lizzie is test driving the latest quilting project.  She has not had much opportunity lately.

 

 

We are coming close to a close on the lower level and I will be posting a few glimpses of the changes. 

 

 

The weather continues  really fine with a forecast now of sunny days for the next two weeks.  Fall arrives here very sneakily.  I am used to Alberta seasons, where changes seem to occur overnight.  The leaves here have been slowly dying and falling with no significant changes in colour.  We also do not have a raging wind to come along and denude the trees overnight.
