men at work

Today a short but hard workday -- we hauled dirt. And hauled and hauled. Three guys with shovels filled buckets, a bucket brigade sent the buckets to the window to be dumped in a growing pile in the courtyard, and the empty buckets got sent back to the diggers. Once we got into a groove we moved, and cleared maybe 8 yards of dirt by lunchtime. In the afternoon we were sore and tired, so we took a break and headed to the Internet cafe. In the evening we visted the house Arpi is building in the country.

Thanks guys, for the comments. Happy Easter to all.

The weather here is gorgeous, and the skylight is very much a work in progress -- its final design the subject of some debate in the Deva congregation. Stay tuned!

Love, peace, doves & serpents,
Terry et al.
