Quick news update from here:

• On the property, we have done some brush clearing and surveying, planning where the pump house and battery house will go.  Some of the drip irrigation is working now, and we have a better idea of how it works (and how to repair it after I cut into a line by accident.) We also got two new signs done:

  

• Brad saw a bobcat. It was apparently quite near me, but I didn’t see it.
• The planning department said that a gas fireplace is fine after all. Yay! We also got approval on the places to dig out the slab, so we are digging away.
• There are wildfires burning in Hog Canyon in the Peloncillos south of us. It looks quite dramatic at night.
