Road Construction

About a month ago we noticed concrete cylinders standing on end, lining our dirt road. We had heard rumors that our dirt road was going to be paved one day but no one knew when the construction would start. I had tried to ask our neighbors several times but conversations always ended with an “I don’t know”.    The next weekend an official looking man in uniform came down our road and was talking with our neighbors. Again I tried to ask if they knew when the construction would start. Still no one could tell me.

A few weeks ago on a Tuesday morning Katy and I started to get into our car when our neighbor tells us that we can’t get through because construction has started. I walked down the road to find a backhoe digging up the center of our road. Our car was trapped for a little over a week while they installed the new sewer drain for our road. We are currently waiting for our dirt road to be paved, but I don’t have the slightest idea of when that will happen…




Enjoy,
