The view from my window

Over the past few days our road and driveway have been in the process of being ripped out so that a drainage pipe can be placed under the road.

The drainage pipe is for the new road that they recent put across the street IN THE EXACT SPOT where we used to catch frogs. What was once wet, is now filled in. That water needs to go somewhere. This pipe is very necessary, but the process is a noisy, dusty mess.

The one good thing about it, is that it makes excellent entertainment for kids.

7 children lined up quietly on my porch happily watching the destruction = a few minutes of peace and quiet for me. Okay, not so quiet with the dump trucks, backhoes and saws all running at the same time, but sorta' peaceful in a way that only makes sense when you have small children underfoot.
