Drive in

The drive way now extends to the Double Oak tree, so Dennis and I took the truck back yesterday.

Currently the driveway has several bases and 2" pieces of ground up cement.
Tuesday it will be filled in with ground up (also recycled) asphalt.
The city requests that the lane be 20' wide for fire trucks.


We put culverts in for an existing stream trickle.
Here one can see flowers close by (can you identify?) and the rich muck of the wetlands.

The land was so pristine. Even with care we are messing some up. Here is one of the culverts.

Is this skunk cabbage? I couldn't smell it.

Now do you believe Goshen has wetlands?
Oops...this is Santa Monica beach, 3 miles from where Joel, our son, and Mikaela, his wife, live in California.
We visited last week. Highpoint: dolphin/whale safari . . .well, after just being with our kids.
Thursday we also moved the house about 20 feet, east and north, to take better advantage of the natural slope of the land for the walkout basement.

Crowd sourcing:
Do you know of anyone who has a Solar Pathfinder that we could borrow? I understand that one uses this to place solar panels to best receive rays.

Joy!
Next post will be an invitation to our land dedication, May 10. Send SusanMarkLandis@gmail.com a note if you'd like directions. Can't come May 10? Just get in touch; we'll now be out often!

peace to you and yours and theirs and whomevers,
Susan
