Porchblogging, Day Two

(First photo) After the second day of excavation, this is what you get. A hole in the ground. The low part with the water is 3 1/2 feet deep.





(Second photo)I thanked the worker for his care in digging up and repotting some begonias and hostas. If they had ended up at the bottom of a pile of dirt, I wouldn't have been disappointed. But I appreciated the care with which he preserved them.

The dog looks concerned.




(Third photo) Miraculously, this gladiola survived. It was quite a sight, poking out from between a pile of heavy wet clay dirt and a pile of busted up concrete.
