It is July 16, 2007. I have tilled the garden around the labyrinth.  It is the first time I have used the tiller on the big tractor, and I wasn’t doing something right.  Then I saw the neighbor’s John Deere group across the street, and I asked for help.  Ed showed me that I was going too fast and I can’t till in a circle. 


It is July 17.  I’m enjoying loading this nice compost on the truck.  (OK, it’s horse manure and wood shavings – but well rotted!) 

 

I am learning a lot about how to operate the tractor.  The first time I used it to put stuff in the truck, I dented the bed. 


The truck is heavily loaded!  Still, this won’t be enough to level the labyrinth circle and cover the garden.

 

I realize that I have planned and designed this labyrinth without ever seeing or walking one.  I am going forward on faith.

 

It’s hard work to unload this truck!  For the rest of what I need, I’m going to try driving the tractor back and forth with a loaded bucket.  Not today, though!  I am exhausted.

 

Tomorrow is July 18th.  It would have been our 26th wedding anniversary.
