The Hills Are Alive

Well, sort of. We used to grow cotton and alfalfa until we transitioned into growing alfalfa and communities. And now it seems we've added a new crop: dirt. I mentioned at the end of a recent post that we've named the pile of dirt to the east of the Lake "Mount Morrison." It was supposed to be just enough to go under the shopping center, but as you can see, there was too much (it will go under Lakeview Trails North). There was a similar problem in Higley Estates, and that excess dirt was hauled off to the airport. There were long, earnest conversations with the engineers before grading started on Highland Groves, and everyone was bound and determined to get it right. Alas, seemingly overnight, those darn dirt piles have been springing up on Highland Groves just like spring weeds after our wet winter. *Sigh*

We'll keep trying.
