It's Looking Good

It always takes longer and costs more. That’s the first principle of community-building that I learned, and it actually applies to almost any project that we undertake. The second thing I learned is that the end result almost never comes out the way envisioned, or at least not exactly. So when we dream of something, and then the end product looks pretty close, it’s very gratifying. For example, the Morrison Ranch website (scroll down the page a bit) shows an artist’s rendering of Lakeview Village, and then an actual picture taken by the Mister fairly recently. It looks very much the way we planned.

Now there’s another viewpoint shaping up to look very much as we anticipated.




This is our original artist’s rendering of the lake, culminating with the view of the grain silos.



And this is the way it looks today. The trees need to grow a bit, but you can imagine how it might look when they do. We are very pleased with the way this is looking.
