Driving out to the north of town I turned my head to see this lovely burnished sunset hovering over a fallow field.
It was directly across from a construction site that’s been under construction for some time.
I last stopped at this spot over a year ago.
At first I thought maybe they weren’t getting much work done, but as I walked away from the shovel I could hear the “back up” beeping of dump trucks a fair distance behind me.
The new subdivision is being laid down deep into the forest that used to stretch across the area.
Feeling a little put off by the enormous chunk of land that has been cleared just to make an entrance to a subdivision I headed west.
As the sun went down I found a long stretch of land that has yet to be subdivisioned.
How long? How long until this is all paved, piped, powered and propertied?
