There are not such obvious changes to the camera lens this week, but progress is well under way. Our utility pole is in and the transformer in place so we are now electrified by our favorite utility, Owen Electric Cooperative! The top soil has been graded over the septic system and the outside foundation walls have been back-filled. The basement floor is covered with straw right now to protect it, but rumor has it that materials for framing will be here next week!
The utility guys removed several large slabs of rock when they were putting in the electricity. The one on the left is approximately 2'x3' and the one on the right is an easy 4'x4'. Each piece is approximately 5 to 6 inches thick all the way across. Please help me brainstorm some ways to utilize these stones! Right now, I'm thinking of making stone benches or table tops for down by the river frontage.
Eagle Creek crosses Fortner Ridge road just 0.3 miles from our driveway. It then winds around to the east and south so that our back property line nestles up against the creek for about 500 feet. The drought has had a major impact on water levels in all the rivers and streams. Most of the secondary streams are bone dry.

A green trinity knot now separates each week's photos. Blessings!
