Looking out my front door

Wow! So, since we moved into our home almost three years ago we've had a little problem with water collecting at the end of our driveway when it rains. No big deal, right? It rarely ever rains but when it does, the rainwater sits there for a few weeks until the hot Texas sun evaporates it away. And it collects leaves and mosquito larvae. And it starts to smell after a while and the neighborhood kids ride their bikes through it over and over and over again. So we called the city and they said they'd get right on it. A few months roll by and still no sign but low and behold we came home from school last Friday and they were out front marking the street with the flourescent paint. YAY!! They would start on Monday. I guess we didn't realize what a production it would actually be because we have no driveway anymore!! The street is completley blocked off to traffic and will be for the next two weekd while the concrete cures. And I swear they only hack up the street at naptime!!

Hopefully it will be over SOON!!
