Our Newest Vehicle

The thing about starting a project is that you end up acquiring so much more than you bargained for. This is the first of two pieces of heavy machinery which now live in our driveway. I was equally  surprised to learn that our landscaping project comes with a lovely new bathroom addition -- otherwise known as an outhouse!

The contractors have planted more flags on the lawn than you'd see at a touch football game. Blue for water, orange for gas, pink for Comcast cable, yellow for electrical, and I'm not even sure what the white ones are for.  Next to be delivered: septic system D-box with leader line.

This is what comes of reading those lovely gardening magazines. All I wanted was a few flowers. Really.
