There are big changes happening in our backyard. Dirt-movers have been around throughout the summer, taking all they wanted for a building project down the road, leaving behind a big bowl. Dirt-movers #2 came in to shape what was left behind and boy, did they make a mountain! It was amazing to see this huge pile of dirt appear in just a day. The motive for the mountain is to increase "privacy" from the major state hwy that is just a stone's throw away. Something tells me this isn't what Jesus meant by having the faith of a mustard seed to move mountains! :)
The home we rent is part of a 42-acre parcel of land owned by a club of Swiss folks. Our home has been allotted 3 acres, however, only about an acre is currently usable. We hope to have full use of the 3 acres by spring. All the dirt being moved around is in preparation for more forest to be planted as a tax break for the non-profit club. Watching those big machines makes for cheap entertainment! It does make me wonder what my house will look like all winter with so much dirt around. An opportunity to sharpen my housekeeping skills, eh?
