Fall is Coming!

It may not be fall yet, but the maples here are starting to turn colors fast. We are seeing more and more tints of red in the trees although the hills are still green. We are starting to get some rain finally, and not a bit too soon as I have grass seed planted in the front and back yard. Hopefully it can get a good start before winter sets in.
We got the kitchen and utility room painted and today Team Emmet's crew was here and paved the driveway! After three houses with gravel driveways we finally have pavement!!
Things are going good here, we saw Rick and Lori Lozen this week as they are here visiting Lori's mom. She only lives about four miles from our house!!
Hey Mike, today I was standing at the road talking to our builder (that's what I have to do to get cell phone reception), and a six or eight point buck ran across Wheeler road between our property and the neighbor's to the north! I guess he was reminding me that bow season is fast approaching!
Here are the latest pictures showing the paving job.

Team Elmers is one of the larger paving and excavating company's in the Traverse City area. Sort of a John Carlos of the north!

They did the circle in front of the house first.

This is what it will look like.

Our road through the woods. We kept thinking of the song that goes "today paradise put up a parking lot".
