The driveway gets installed today. We are finally done with the mud patch- well, most of it since the final grading and landscaping is yet to be completed.

The excitement of the drive is tempered by the very obvious dead Ash tree in the front parkway. When we moved in back in '04 it provided great shade and canopy over the front yard. We have seen so many trees lost to the the Emerald Ash borer this year including another one directly across the street. Lets hope the plan for replacement involves diversity of species!
