New Neighbors

When I came home for lunch there was a bulldozer clearing the lots behind our house.  There was a decent sized tree back there, which they took out.  There is going to be a house right behind us within the next couple months.  We have had 4 years of a nice open view from the back deck, but that is all over now. It is sad.

It is a good sign for the economy that our subdivision is filling up.  It will probably make it easier to sell our house someday if there aren't a ton of empty lots.  I'm not looking forward to the next few weeks with the construction going on. Hopefully it won't be bad.  It is getting cold so we haven't been spending a lot of time outside. Still, it isn't fun to have to hear the trucks and hammering all the time, especially right out our back door.  I guess we will make it through these tough times.

I am not extremely excited to be getting new neighbors right behind us.  We will be able to look right in their back yard, and visa versa.  I'm not feeling too good about that.  Hopefully they don't have a dog.
