Another beautiful week on the mountain and we are now hoping for some rain to fill up our two waterbarrels that we use for showers and washing dishes. Each morning Marie sits out with her coffee logging all the different birds she sees into her I-pod Touch while we are still enjoying the peace and quiet. Haven't seen a soul on the Domaine all month and sometimes think we are the only people in the world...Friday the contractors arrived to start the foundation, measuring and marking the footprint, then digging the footing. This involved alot of rock breaking and work will resume Monday. It felt good to see that first dig of the shovel into the ground to officially mark the start of the house. The septic field meanwhile lays unfinished and no sign of the fellow we contracted....we never thought it would be easy! I will be posting pictures next time. Till then...Happy Memorial Day! gws
