The Master Plan

It is always nice to dream.  I find it entertaining.  Always known for my "extra energy" (as I like to describe it since I was born before the terms ADD and ADHD came into vogue), having the land to think about and to plan for was great for me.  We hired our architect friend to prepare a "master plan" for the property so that when we did have the money to build something, we would know where everything should be located and preserved.  We spent some time on the land and mapped out the best views, the wind corridors, the sun patterns, and the vistas.  I even sent some soil samples to Utah State for analysis to see if the land would sustain my orchard and vineyard ideals.  Liz designed a great plan, detailing the house location, the driveways, the orchard layout, the vineyard and the dog run.  The master plan is done.  The waiting begins.
