Solid rock! Week One has ended short of the goal of drilling for pier placement. The digging has produced big, chunky rocks and in the last corner of digging, solid rock. Mike and crew were able to pull most of the rocks out. I now have beautiful rocks scattered along the driveway and under the tree groves. Perfect for small groups to gather. Just like I saw in my head when I went to the land for the first time and looked out over the view.
Mike has to rent a rock saw to break up the last of the rock. Seems it is a solid shelf. In fact, they have dug down to a solid sheet of level rock for the whole foundation. So, this will truly be a house built on rock.
I spent Easter lunch with Linda and Karen on Lonesome Oak, their land on the Brazos. They had an eagle couple in the trees on their land this week!
The best news this week- the burn ban has lifted!! I made a great little fire in the new fire pit area. Kept it small and under control. :)
I have a cold this week, a bit run down I suppose. Have trips booked for several weeks out...better drink my OJ.
Friday night as the fire was dying down I sat and watched a full moon rise over the far ridge, just as the light was fading. It looked like a giant glowing balloon as it crested the horizon, then got brighter and brighter as it rose in the sky. God is still God.
