Breaking Ground
Ground was broken Saturday for the first home to occupy the land where the YWCA once stood on West Ave. It's nice to see something good happening with the land; nice to see a family of seven finally getting a home to call their own. It's great that the house, a two-family, will be built mainly with donated supplies and volunteer labor through Habitat for Humanity. It's a great location for a family - just down the street from Bethesda Park and very close to Central Middle, the library and downtown.
I did a little breaking ground of my own over the weekend; during light drizzle Saturday, and just prior to the rain that stormed in Sunday night. I'd been itching to get into the garden, more so this year since I'm renting a county plot on Northview for the first time.
I worked in the home garden and planted a couple things Saturday. Sunday took a short ride over to see just how big 20' x 20' is. Several of my organic garden neighbors were there setting plants and erecting fences even though very windy with lighning and rain visible in the distance. I spent all my time making raised beds, didn't finish and didn't plant anything before the rains hit.
