Day two

Let the digging begin. I started digging my first patch today. Wore gloves, hands still hurt. I decided to start on the side closest to the garage and furthest from the large oak trees. I learned while digging the vegetable patch last year (while 9 months pregnant with Dylan) that there are MANY roots at the other end and VERY difficult to dig through. In order to avoid becoming discouraged at the biginning of my digging I started at the easy end. And WOW, did I make progress! I got most of that side done and as I suspected, that progress quickly slowed it's pace as I neared the oak tree corner. I have a little more to complete, and can't wait to get to the other side.
