Day 171

Things haven’t changed much in the last few days.  Apparently, the ground was still fairly wet under the surface, so earthwork dude was letting it dry out.

We had a safely distanced meeting on-site with our builder to discuss the next few steps.  There is some more grading to do and then the digging of the footers and the basement.   I must find my pink sunglasses Josh got me before it’s time for me to inspect these items.

I did a little practice inspecting today.

Looking good and level.

I had to check out the view from Pride Rock…er…Pride Dirt Pile.

Josh decided to have a little too much fun with photoshop after I started calling our pile of dirt “Pride Rock”.  Here I am presenting our house cat, Bu, to the kingdom.

I blame it on the quarantine.

Moving on.

We moved the trail camera back to its original location because I have recently learned about myself that, to me, watching dirt being moved is like watching paint dry.

The usual suspects showed up: Bambi, house cat, opossum, and a few curious neighbors.

Then came one of the funniest videos yet.

It started with a young lady turkey casually strolling by.  I’ve just learned this is called a “jenny”.

Hey, Jen.

Then a few seconds later she inexplicably picks up her pace and exits stage right…

…because here comes Tom!

I think the quarantine is getting to them, too.
