It rained quite a bit over the weekend while I was in NC at my Father’s 95th birthday party.<\/p>\n

The grading inspector came on Monday and approved the house and garage grading.\u00a0 Ted and the contractor are now allowed to go pull the building permits for the house and garage, but it is going to rain considerably more tonight and tomorrow, so no work has been started and they will pull the permits next week.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, on Saturday, Ted and Pete started outlining some areas in the front yard with rocks.\u00a0 On Monday, Pete left for New Mexico for a month or so.\u00a0 On Tuesday Ted did some more outlining. The plants behind the outline in this first picture are star\u00a0amaryllises.\u00a0 Unfortunately, none of them are blooming in the picture.\u00a0 They and the blooming clivias up on the terrace behind them were given to us from friends at church, Paul and Tom. The amaryllises are already spreading. The building in the background is our neighbor’s chicken coop.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The sprawling plants in the photo below are Peruvian lilies that were just taken out of the flower raised bed because they were taking over. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

On Tuesday, the original demo people came back with a bobcat to remove the rocks from the edges of the house pad.\u00a0 They got all the ones from the west side, which is unreachable except by crossing the pad.\u00a0 They will return after the rain to remove the remaining ones on the east side and by the garage.\u00a0\u00a0\"\"<\/a>
Pete believes in not letting anything leave the property, so the rocks are piled in a big pile near the top of the property,\u00a0out of the way.
