Digging starts tomorrow. We’re sorta famous on our street now. The pipeline company left notes with all 30-something houses on our street letting them know deep diggin’ would be happening at our house starting tomorrow, and that they should make plans to avoid driving by. This is a big inconvenience, because we have SO many friends on this street and they’re ALWAYS stopping by to hang out and soak up our cheerful hospitality.

Anyway, this evening they brought a digger machine (I’m sure there’s a better phrase to use here besides ‘digger machine’) and parked it out front. The whole thing is somewhat unfortunate… we just got the lawn to a condition where we’re reasonably happy with it. Lush and green, not too many weeds. Instead, by this time next week it’ll be scarred and covered with straw. So it goes.

Photos to follow soon…
