Some wonderful things happened today. The process of digging the footings for our home was started. Yippee! I can hardly believe it. Our basement was dug several months ago in order to get fill dirt to build up the road to our home place. Since then, the water and other underground utilities have been put in place. This has been such a long process. I don't think we ever imagined how time consuming and expensive it would be (and we really haven't even began constructing the home; although now with the footings maybe we have!) We essentially had to do the kind of development that neighborhoods go through--removing timber, putting in a road, putting in underground utilities, seeding grass, etc. I am trying to keep the end result in mind as all of this effort and expense will eventually allow us to have a beautiful home place and a sweet farm.
