The past few days have been ones full of surprises. We have been laboring to get the bath-house portion of our project going but have almost each day had a new revelation as to how and why the location we've chosen wont work. We've had every problem from septic issues to sight-line issues to the latest powerline issue. Needless to say the bath-house is still in limbo but we are hopeful to begin it within the next week.
Our biggest and most pleasant surprise has been the new addition of yet at another animal around the house. After finishing our lunch on Thurs. we were heading back out to our job site when Mitch noticed a small fuzzy mass huddled amidst a bunch of boots on the back porch.

This little bundle turned out to be a small puppy that we are guessing to be about eight weeks old. She instantly melted our hearts and has become our house mascot (and site distraction). We have nick-named her Annie after the famous orphan and are currently debating amoungst ourselves who will eventually get to claim her as their own.

All in all we've had a fun few days and continue to work hard at getting the most out of our experience down here. Our progress on the shop/residences has encouraged those of us who thought there was no end to the digging, and for the rest of us we're happy to have the option of doing a variety of tasks at any given moment. As always we are warking hard and loving life here in Bluff. Go school!
