This picture is from Google maps! Your can see the track clearly. Our crazy neighbor Eric came over and started smoothing it again. Between his tractor and our other neighbor's tiller attachment we were able to get it nice and soft. It's really fun to ride now! It had gotten really pitted with lots of ruts from mud riding this fall-spring. Thought it was kind of fun!
... And of course, you can't beat the view
Daddy decided to start painting. All the ceilings needed to be done because they used to be the same color as the walls, and not white but cream, which we both hate. Most of the ceilings are now done but we now need to paint the walls. The one room we did paint was the bonus room. Because I have no self control, that became a huge new SUPER comfy couch and, since we have a ridiculously large wall available...a projector and screen. We watch movies in their frequently now. We watched one of our favorites, How to Train Your Dragon, and Kayda's response was "I didn't know hiccup had freckles!!!". We still need to add some blinds in order to make it easier to see during the day.
Now the grass has grown up tall enough that's it's basically at your head level while you drive.
The dirt from the pool had to go somewhere, so we raised up the space for the fire pit so we can use it during the "wet months". Next summer we'll add stone and build the chairs I want. For now it will either be dirt or grass. Unfortunately I don't have a picture from the house but you can see we've situated it with a view!
The last project was talked about last year and this year Alan (next door neighbor) wanted to start it. He borrowed a plow from a friend and started cutting a ditch for between our properties. We still need to move the extra dirt and get the slope correct. We're going to move some of the water along to get us a little drier. Later we'll add drainage to push the water that way more.
