Digging

I am digging today. Yeah! There is an awesome breeze coming off the sea and the sun is shining and I am sweating (a sure sign that calories are burning) and all is well with the world. And, I get to make something cool--a fence. Actually, it'll be a pump-house for the pool and a fence to guard part of the lappa (firepit) area.

So far, I dug two, nearly three, holes, sawed through a few thick branches and used the loppers on other bits of vegetation. Also, Shaun and I wrestled a shrub out of the ground. The wrestling involved me pulling with all my might and shouting while nearly sitting on the ground.

Pickaxes, spades, and saws are involved. It does not get any better than this. Unless there was a staple gun, but that would be another post...
