Thank you, Nancy! You're right on the money re: digging projects-- it's still underway, looking very similar to how I left it with the most recent pictures... For the most part, I had to focus on matters that took me away from the land in spring, and then the summer came with its nearly-100-degree temps which bake the earth, leading the digging to be less of a priority. Still very excited about the project though, and looking forward to finishing it including adding bentonite clay so it can hold water! I'm thinking I'll get some great work days in on it this fall once things are slightly cooler and wetter again, and hopefully I can finish it before the spring rains! :)
