The little things:

Sadly, the two trees that are circled days were numbered. When we drove by during lunch today, we saw them chopping them down. Sad day, but we pretty much knew it would happen since they were right in front of the garage.

What is that? Did you notice something new? Yes, our dirt now has grooves in it. That's pretty much as exciting as it gets around here right now.
