More findings

Monday's walking (March 25) took me up the hill behind the church again. That neighborhood has steep streets!  There are lots more houses having construction done on them--either tear-downs with brand new construction or very extensive remodeling. Having done this myself in two houses (Coral Gables FL and Herndon VA) I know how much work and trouble it creates. It does make me think about how much effort and resources it takes, and whether it's all worth it.

At another home, I was happy to see some fencing marking off a 'tree conservation area.' Someone is thinking about preserving the canopy from all the disturbance from construction.

On the street in front of this house was a construction crew digging down through the pavement to make a new water connection for this house under construction. They chatted with me a while before I went up the hill, trying to find a cut through to the elementary school just below. Didn't find one, so I had to turn around.
On the way back, I decided to go behind the elementary school again and discovered a few new things--a picnic table...

...and a way to play music in the playground.

When the weather gets warmer, I'm packing a picnic.
