A Hole is Dug

Yesterday, (Saturday 4/18), on that glorious spring morning, after our Strength and Fitness class, we all stuck around and dug a hole! Pretty exciting stuff, I know.

Soon that hole will be the new home for a young, vibrant Sugar Maple tree that we will ceremoniously plant on Eco-Yoga Day, Sunday April 26. Please do attend! The tree comes to the community thanks to the generosity of  Exterior Image – landscape designs & build (Lothian).

So how did the hole digging go? Thanks to Cheryl who brought the tools and and the hard work of Lara, Leigh, Patti, Kimbra & Ellie (Sienna & Shannon were off adventuring- who can blame them), and Page & Jen, the hole digging went as smoothly as can be.

Well, not really. At first there was some thought it might be too rocky or too close to the paved road. But with a little determination and with Micky’s efforts ( a guy in a truck with a shovel who graciously stopped and helped, i.e. did lots of work) we forged ahead.

But it was not a clean affair, nor for the faint at heart. There was plenty-o-mud to be had by all. Mud that caked on our shovels, our shoes, and our hands. Being a hearty crew, no one was deterred.

In the end, we got our hole dug – about 5 feet across and nearly two feet deep. Our Sugar Maple will soon be in her new home.

Hope you can be there for Eco-Yoga Day!!
