A much bigger machine arrived this morning to finish the dig. They knew there would be rocks but may not have anticipated so many and the size of the monsters.
The sun came out to make this day a little more light-hearted. Audrey and Annie were already tucked away in their preferred sleeping areas by 8am after a good sized breakfast. Windows were shut, radio on and the *booms|* and *bangs* began.
Two little grandittles stopped by to watch the action from a safe distance. Gus was so enthralled with it all. Little Gwynn was worried about the animals and birds that might be around. I assured her that they would look after themselves by staying away from the area for the day and that Simon would stay safely under the pump if it got too crazy for him. That seemed to satisfy her.
It all went like clock-work and the weather co-operated. The dig is done. It is so quiet again. The cats are happy, Simon will dine on his rock again tonight and mama-to-be wren has just returned to her house after disappearing for most of the day.
The concrete co. will put in the footings on Monday. Next week will be all about foundation work.
Once again, praying for sun. :)
I'm off to meet two new kitty-clients. =^..^= =^..^=
Can't wait.
Have a wonderful weekend.
hugs, Deb
