Wow, what a great Halloween it's been! I kind of crapped out on the countdown for the last couple of days, my apologies for that - but I was busy cleaning and decorating and making treats - doing the real work of Halloween! How did yours go?

So, some workment from the city are here this a.m. installing a new gas line. I guess it's necessary but seriously, it seems like they have to tear up our yard once a year for something or other. I spent a lot of time (not to mention money) this spring re-landscaping the front of the house . . . argh!

From where I'm setting I can see part of a mound of dirt piled up and it looks like a good sized pile.  The day started off so promising too . . . well no, it was just another morning, but I had no idea i would have a crew of guys destroying my front lawn before 10 a.m.  I'm just wondering whether the daliahs are surviving . . . oh crap, I'm seeing more dirt flying.
