After two weeks of travel, I am very thankful to be home now.

The electrical is done. Yay! And we’ve moved on to plumbing. Brad dug this ditch yesterday and is off getting more supplies as I write this.

I got our new property assessment this week. The value of the land has gone up; the value of the improvements has gone down. Hmmm….doesn’t seem that way to me.  They had previously valued the improvements (the house) as 100% complete — how I wish that were true. :) Thankfully, our property taxes are so low that it doesn’t really matter.

In other news, the cottonwood we moved seems to be thriving. It is actually getting new leaves, despite the fact that it was been quite cold this week. We’ve had a lot of rain this month though, which bodes well. Spring can’t be far away, and I am ready for it!
