I talked a little bit about the new construction going on in our front yard – the new shed. Last week, instead of focusing on my flowers and deer skull and new maple tree as decorations, I had to snap a photo of the latest lawn adornment – an 18-wheeler. It wasn’t there for long, but the tire tracks in the grass still remain.

This semi delivered all the materials for our new shop, including monstrous trusses. Our driveway is a sharp angle off the country road, so he had to drive in through the ditch … right into our front yard. On top of that, in order to get the trusses off the truck and into the construction area, my husband had to use his forklift and you guessed it, drive through the front yard.

I’m not much for fancy plush-looking grass, but I AM the one who mows around here and I don’t appreciate more ruts in the yard for me to bounce over and through. All complaining aside, it’s par for the course to get a shed and a lean-to for the horses for winter.

Oh, and new sleeping quarters for black kitty and her raccoon kids.

Until we walk again …
