Excavation!



The hole is now the required 9 feet deep! We looked out the window yesterday and breakfast, and decided that the castle (see top photo, June 12 post) built by our summer boarder Mark Prince (you may now groan at the pun in the June 12 post...), has become a Scottish castle. You can see the foothills of some Munros to the left of the castle, and in front - that's not a moat, that's Loch Ness in a severe drought!
Speaking of drought, it has been hot and dry here for 10 days or so, and should continue for another 4 at least. Very good for digging, and could be good for pouring the foundation footings, but challenging to water the garden, which is on the other side of the Munros and the trees behind them.
