The House is Gandhi with the Windy

Howdy Friends and Family,

In case I wasn't clear before, our house is gone and we are starting from scratch, including the landscape.  I knew this fact going into the project and all along, but it wasn't totally apparent to me until we showed up on Aug. 8th, after a few days of vacation, and our house and lot were and dirt pile.  Adding to my "deer in the headlights look" and  general feelings of conflict regarding the loss of the old house and the wondering of our future, kitty was missing.  I could piece back together that Noche, our 12 year old kitty, had been in the neighborhood for two nights while we were in Red Lodge, MT.  Noche had come back home to his house of 9 years and wondered what the heck had happened.  According to the neighbors, on the morning of 8/8 they awoke to some terrible moans, meows, howls and the like.  Noche was sitting in the middle of the dirt pile letting the whole neighborhood know that this whole idea was BULL SHOCKEY and he wasn't having any of it.  When we got home that day and patched the stories together, I knew he must still be in the neighborhood.  I stopped by the house many times that day and sounded my whistle that we have him trained to, and never did find him in the daylight.  I went to bed and didn't sleep very well at all that night.  I awoke at 12:45am and buzzed back over to the house and Noche was meowing around the foundation.  All is well and my stress level has decreased.  Not only are we building a house, I am working through some life issues that I didn't even know were problems yet.  Have I told you how much fun building a house can be?

The Work Begins

We are out of the house, the power has been disconnected, with a 

temporary power source installed,

and our new water well was drilled.

Each day there is a hum of activity

and I stop by there to pick up our mail daily.

Really I just use the excuse to be over there

to see the progression of work.

This project is really a GO, 

and I am getting excited about 

our finish date in November.

Yes, you can build a whole new house in

four months.

The next time we saw our house, it was a hole in the ground.

Stay tuned for more updates.

Happy Monday,

Biz

Stealth Cam Shots from the Cabin

Hey there,
I have missed you!  We have been busy, as always.  Instead of carrying on that it is too much, I am going to assume that life will maintain its busy-NESS and adapt.  After all, I get more done when there is more to do.  For a Christmas present (we don't celebrate Christmas with our friends on the correct date, ever) we recieved a Stealth Cam from Don and K-Mac with the intent of putting it at the cabin.  We got it placed in a location that Scoot and I thought might get some action because of scat and tracks we had seen before in the snow.  Luckily we were right, we are not alone!!!!  I can't explain how happy this makes me, I love having a set of eyes at the cabin when we are not there.  Check out the visitors.

Camera location, about 100 yards from cabin.

I was so excited, Fletch levitated for me!

Testing,

Heading home for the weekend.

Critters!!!!!

THANKS, DON AND KMAC, we love our gift!!!  The cow moose are my favorites, we thought she may come around for her debut!  The camera settings take a shot about every minute, if there is action.  That's why we got two shots for the same moose, she was hanging out.

Thanks for the visit,
Lolita
