Tuesday August 4th 2009! Ground BREAKING!

ALL OF MY PHOTOS WERE CORRUPT!
Thanks, however to Michael, he saved the artifacts we dug up in the grassy knoll, albeit some empty mini mini ziplock baggies in brilliant colors, and a few 6pack can plastic rings...

Anyways...tilling and trying to even out the grassy knoll, keeping a bit of a slope for excess water runoff....

We destrangled two of the trees from the cobblestones that were so graceously placed by someone yesrs ago. These were moved to create a water trap at the end of the soil. This is a practice used in some arid areas, or areas where the soil has been compacted so tightly that nothing soaks in. The rocks at the end of the run-off line are in place to catch some of the organic matter and water, which simply runs off without this.

Hopefully one of us will go tomorrow and take pics for the blog...what has been done already is so beautiful. amazing what you can make from what is already there...observing and being open to what is around you...finding use!
That is what this mission is about!
