New Seminary Driveway Progress Update

Last week Thursday (Yes, a mere week ago!) we started to report on the progress being made on the new PRC Seminary driveway project. Well, as you will see from the pictures today, we have come a long way in a week!

Lots of sand was brought in!

As of yesterday, the base coat of new asphalt is down. Next week the electrical will be run for the driveway lights and the new sign, the landscaping will get started, and underground sprinkling will be installed, among other things. Once all is in place, the old driveway will be torn up and replaced with nice grass. Plus, our new city water line is in the building – it just needs to be connected yet.

And though our privacy has been compromised a little with the opening to the south, the view is still fantastic and the deer and wild turkeys are still around. What’s to say about the new driveway and expanded parking lot? Let’s just say that they will be greatly appreciated! Especially in the winter! 🙂

Thanks to our all contractors and to our project manager for a great week of progress!

After a brief recess from work and blogging (hitting a little white ball around for a few days with some men from church 🙂 – and then playing “catch up” for a day), we return today with a post about this clever bird feeder known as a “library for the birds.”

 

Book Patrol carried this feature on Tuesday of this week (May 19, 2015) and I judge it worthy of a “Friday Fun” post.

Below is a brief note about its origin and location; the picture reveals one of the feathery patrons. If you visit the link above, you will even find a short video of another visitor to this “library.”

Earlier this month a library for the birds opened in Charlottesville, Virginia.

The brainchild of Rebecca Flowers and Kevin Cwalina, The Belmont Public Library for the Birds opened May 2nd with a grand opening “complete with registering birds for library cards.”

Their slogan is ‘Belmont Public Library for the birds: feeding the bird brains of Virginia,’” and from the looks of it it has been a busy place.

Looks like a great idea to me! Have a great Friday! Hope you are able to down a few “seeds of knowledge” while reading this weekend! 🙂
