Jim Whitehurst operates the John Deere backhoe with front end loader especially for this project: Digging a 'cellar hole' for the new Whitehurst home. Sharon Whitehurst writes: 'Jim hopes to have our cellar hole ready for concrete this week. A new house, one without prior history or former occupants. As the walls are raised, the surrounding earth leveled and smoothed, I can anticipate landscaping, choosing the shrubs and perennials that will define a dooryard created from a former rough pasture. 'Cellar hole' and 'Door yard' are terms firmly lodged in our lexicon, part of our sense of place. They mark the beginning of what will become 'home.'" Comments | Permalink
