We sat on the patio for coffee early this morning (about 5:30) at a comfortable 78 degrees. As soon as the clock ticked to 6:00, the parade of construction trucks came down Cole Circle. They must have all been sitting at the gate waiting for their 6:00 start time. We didn't get a photo of it but there was evidence of busy activity everywhere we went that morning.
Several trucks were on Desert Wind Lane pouring more concrete.
It's fascinating to watch their team at work. I bet they get a lot of practice.
Don got close enough to talk to the driver.
Whoops..........he got too close and came away spattered with droplets of concrete on his white t-shirt. It doesn't show up much on this photo but we got a good chuckle out of it. He says its "hazards of his job as my photographer."
Busy contractors everywhere we went.
Several streets are blocked off as there will be drilling and pipes laid underground for our fiber optic cable.
Lots of hard work digging these trenches by hand in our tough clay soil.
New homes keep popping up.
Ever patient hubby just doesn't understand that you readers like to see cactus blossoms.
Don't you???? Am I right??

This one I caught in the SGV Tribune the
other day and called the Editorial Room and
asked who wrote this. It took two or
three readings before the editor realized that
what he was reading was impossible!!!
They put in a correction the next day.
