slowly but surely

We're getting there. It's Day 4 of having a giant pile of dirt in our driveway. Every day, whenever possible, David is outside digging out the clay and discovering gigantic tree roots (ie. more digging) in the space that is to be our garden. He has filled an entire bin with all the clay he has dug out... but finally we are able to start putting the good dirt in. We have been really lucky with good neighbours, who have come over to lend a hand, David's dad, who has been here almost every day, and, of course, our two hard-working boys. Joe is very eager to get out there every day and "get new dirt!" and Henry... has good intentions (he picks up handfuls of new dirt already in the garden, loads it into his wagon, and takes it back to the pile in the driveway... perhaps quality control?).

Thank God for these hard-working Kantor men.
