Last weekend was sunny!

Last weekend, we went for a little hike in Patapsco State Park. There is a short trail through the woods that takes you to a waterfall. Beautiful!

Amedeo started out well. He used up all of his energy running down the trail. I carried him the rest of the way to the falls. Pietro carried him back to the car.


This is the boy's natural habitat, dirt!


We had a little snack on the rocks. Shaken, not stirred. Har har.




And, here is what is going on across the street from our backyard. Sigh. Nasty ol' Walgreens is building their monstrosity there. I hope they fail. All we hear all day long is the beeping of construction equipment. On Thursday, they started construction at 6 am!!!! Amedeo woke up screaming and crying because he thought there was a thunderstorm. We called the non-emergency police number to report them. Residential construction is not allowed to begin before 7 am.

There is still litigation going on with the community and Walgreens, which means that they shouldn't have started construction yet. It has been frustrating to deal with their corporation, since they seem only to be focused on making $$$, and not with making friends with the community.

Please, if you can, do not patronize Walgreens. We tried to stop them from building in our back yard. Now our only hope is that they do not have enough business to remain open.

The community should file an injunction against further building; as you've stated, Walgreens isn't exactly Johnny Fairplay and will do whatever legally they can, be it improper or no.
