At long last: Excavation!

  Laura and Adam stopped in Monday, May 19, to see the land. Adam was excited for Petie to explore, perhaps find some deer tracks. Laura figured she'd read a book. First they walked the Pumpkin Vine.

Dennis found flowers along the Pumpkin Vine, perhaps phlox?

Laura was glad she agreed to wear jeans.

 For a North Carolina dog, Petie sought shade from the heat frequently.

We now have a table in our kitchen. Frequent picnics ahead!

Petie decided it's time to get this house DUG!

Regardless of consequences.

I stopped in on Tuesday between appointments for some quiet time in my womb room and enjoyed the view.

We don't yet have any kind of a schedule. Frankly, lots needs to be done before we can dig. (The sorts of things dogs don't care about.) Maybe I'll make a garden. Anyone have recommendations about a fish pond?
