Changes

Times are a changing
sometimes they are good
and then
well ~ not so good

I try to be an optimist

and I am

most of the time...

my little piece of heaven
which I tend to go on and on about

well things are changing down on the cape
the road is being moved

so once you get to the bottom of the hill
instead of heading along the shoreline
it will veer off to the left
and head through the woods

it is something that has to be done
as the road is eroding into the bay
and is really bad in a couple of spots.

This of course changes things
at the cottage
our back yard
will now become the front yard

not a big deal really

we met with the department of transportation
last year
to talk about the new driveway
as they are putting them in
for the landowners

so this is what the driveway
currently looks like

nice isn't it
the sweeping curve
gives us some privacy
lends some charm to the property

So...
last month
we went down to check out the progress
on the new road
and the new driveway

we parked at the road
and made our way
only to see this

look straight ahead
the big gaping hole

can you say runway..

honestly
I think you could land a plane

apparently
they brought in this giant excavator
chipper machine
that started at the top of the trees
and chipped the entire tree

there are wood chips
everywhere

here is the roof

I am surprised that windows were not broken
really...

I have not been back down since
I was sick really when I saw it

but what's done is done
all we can do
is wait and see what they do
how they clean things up
and what the new driveway will look like
then we can plant some new trees

we walked through to the new road
and checked out things from all angles

here's my boy taking it all in

and my baby girl
before she fell in the brook

she's OK
Mama fished her out!
