The trees and brush are down, the logs stacked, and Chico and went to take a look the other day. Actually, Chico went to take a sniff, I went to take a look.

The lefthand edge of this lump of ledge is a property line. They tree guys cleared brush and trees to expose the ledge. and they are filling in the gaps with chips from my job and other jobs in the neighborhood.

I love that crazy twisty pine. The area in the foreground was the garden, and will be again.

Here’s a panorama of the “yard.”

More drawings from the builders the first week of December (I do wish that the estimates guy wasn’t taking Thanksgiving week off, but he is entitled to a life).

Chico and I are spending Sunday and Monday at the Thanksgiving Cluster, an annual and major conglomeration of dog events (agility, obedience, breed) at the Eastern States Exposition (The Big E in local parlance) in Springfield, MA. It’s about as big as a trial can get, so lets see if Chico and I can tune out the hubbub and tune in to each other and run the courses we’re given.
