Up the Road

I came home from work one day and found the fence at the end of our ally torn down.  The big lot that has been vacant for more than a decade, has become a lot full of activity.  I wish more little kids lived around us, because every day brings more tractors, big shovels, trenches, hills of dirt, and noise.  We actually went to a public hearing about the little subdivision that they plan to build...about five years ago.  Bad timing.  Because of the economy and the housing market, the developer just sat on the property and plans until things were looking up.  Now we're all looking up the road each day to see the new developments.
