we're still moving along nicely around here- less holes and dirt piles, more yard and pathways. that makes me happy! here are the most recent pictures of what we've been doing these last few weeks. (aside from copious amounts of tomatoes, beans and cantaloupes!)
the boys have coated the foundation with tar. no more water pouring into the basement. always a good thing!
dave is helping with the tractor to put the dirt back into the trenches. unfortunately, he couldn't do alot, because the back tires are for a construction site, not farm work. bummer.
ditch filled in- some by hand, some by tractor.
house wrapping the back of the addition.
D and G are pretty much done with that now. 
now they are working on filling in the foundation, and also getting rid of the big pile of dirt in the yard.
this is the old well. it's covered with a large piece of metal, and a huge stone. i wanted to look inside, and this is what i saw. it's about 18 feet deep. pretty cool! we're thinking of how we can maybe build a wall for it, and have a wishing well or something, as part of the kitchen garden. still working on that one.
we've started building the walkway from the front porch, to the back porch, and joining up with the rock path we built earlier this summer around the flower gardens.
we worked on the path pretty much all day Friday, and we're almost done.
A played nicely with the trucks in the dirt. how cute!
G rebuilt the little retaining wall around the cedar tree. maybe next year we'll back fill it with dirt, and plant some shade loving plants in there.
here's the path, pretty much all done for now. i really like the way it looks. it improves the look of the house a great deal, too.
