Digging Day 6

May 14, 2010, Friday

How exciting to be working on the eighth and final hole!  And it was one of the easiest!  After removing the top layer of roots and humus, I was able to go straight to the shovel - no frozen clay or dirt!  Everything was soft and pliable... we are now well into spring, practically summer.

There were rocks in the sandy layer, but not as many as the last two and by 5 pm my work was done.  I had treated myself to a full growler of Single Engine Red from the Denali Brewing Company - the new local brewery in town, and sat down for a glass or two of a well-deserved drink (at least, I think it was well deserved!).

My other treat, was that my neighbors invited me to dinner and a shower!  I changed into my fleece skirt and loafers and brushed the dried mud out of my hair, and went up to their place around 6pm.  What a treat to get all the caked mud and dirt off of my arms and hands and face.

Then, my evening walk with Otter, and off to bed.
