When an excavator comes down the street....

.....all things in the house come to a halt.  Noah rushes out the door - first in only in the shorts and bare feet he woke up with, then his Momma insists on some shoes and a raincoat because it is raining.

Our neighbor is putting in a new driveway.  Noah watched as each bucket of old pavement was loaded into the dump trucks and hauled away....I had to hold him back from introducing himself to the men who were working.  He insisted that he could be helpful.
