Two weeks ago, one of my favorite rock and roll icons of all time, David Bowie, passed away after a secret battle with cancer. Since the announcement, his songs have been sifting in and out of my head. "Changes," is but one of them, that speaks of life and time and the fact that neither stand still or stay the same. Therefore, this blog will be dedicated to Bowie, a brilliant poet who was silenced way too soon, and the changes we have made to site 233.
In the beginning....there was a Sold sign.

Work just beginning...
The first change we made to our lot was to add additional pavers that expanded the lot to almost double in width, thus giving us extra room to spread out and provide an area for our future shed.
As soon as we arrived at 233 last October, the frenzy began with the arrival of our shed, irrigation installation around the perimeter for the newly planted shrubs and trees, decorative stone delivered, the acquisition of a "lightening-proof" surge protector for the coach and shed, the final pavers laid and concrete curbing along the right side to keep the stone in place.
Shed delivery. It was interesting and scary at the same time.
I don't think we will EVER be completely finished, but for this year, it's as good as it's going to get. It will be forever ch, ch, changing.
Below are the most recent photos of our little piece of heaven.
Next blog entry will be a draft of our proposed upcoming trips.

Deep thought for the day: Time may change me, but I can't trace time. ~ David Bowie (January 8, 1947 - January 10, 2016)
Nice job, a good read, keep them coming.
