Dirt, Dirt and More Dirt

Today was another day of dirt work. We went to the house site on my lunch and checked out the progress. It takes alot of time to pack the pad and alot of work. So far so good.

Dirt smells GOOD!

Yesterday was a very big day for us. We signed the intern loan paper and broke ground almost at the same time. The dozer started pushing dirt about 8:30 yesterday morning and the guy worked until almost 4:30pm. We were very impressed with the job he is doing. His company I believe is called Robert's Dozing and I would recommend him. Only bad thing was that he found a rattlesnake. This was after he had ran over it. This will make our 3rd one that we have killed or found dead. The guy was so nice that he made sure he buried it so I wouldn't have to see it again. Matt told him how scared I am of snakes.

Matt spent most of his day yesterday at the house site watching. When I asked him what he was doing out there he said "Just watching and smelling the dirt. Dirt smells GOOD." I have a sneaky feeling he was wishing he was the one on the dozer. He took Patricia out after school and they walked and talked about all the things they are intending on planting. They are so much alike in that aspect. I'll download some pictures tonight.
