Today I have an excavator, a bulldozer, and a dump truck in my yard. There is a loud roar coming from somewhere in my woods. Bill is riding around on his grass cutter, pulling a lawn sweeper for the leaves in the yard. The day was unexpectedly sunny and a perfect temperature for fleece hoodies.
Hanner is not only going to dump gravel down on my driveway, he's also going to clear some trees, move the driveway and level the ground between the master-bath corner of the house and the pole barn in preparation for MY new garage! That's right, I'll have a place I can park my car close to the house and it won't be full of Bill's mowers! It will have an automatic door opener and will be close to the foot of my front wheelchair ramp.
Hanner's whole family was here this afternoon and saw what all we've done since the housewarming party in March. I have a crockpot of venison, onions and mushrooms happily warming away in my kitchen, the aromas filling the house and drifting out the doors as men and beasts go in and out. I'm sitting with my feet up, a glass of Leelanau cellars Autumn Sunset at my elbow and listening to Mississippi Delta blues, and I think to myself: My life is good!
