This is the day we have been waiting for these many months of planning, working, and
dreaming. Most of the morning was taken up with careful measuring, marking with
orange paint. and pounding in numerous stakes. About 11AM the first scoop of dirt
was removed (see below). We were afraid that much of dirt would be fill, brought in
from other excavations, but instead only the top one-foot was fill and the rest was
virgin soil of hard-packed sand and clay. The digging will continue tomorrow.
