Across generations
Our man Moses and Dick Dyk, a long-time volunteer at Cary Christian Center who makes the trip all the way from South Dakota every year to spend several months in Cary and help out, joined efforts today to get the soil ready for planting the community garden on the Center's grounds.
There's probably 60 years difference in their ages — and a fairly noticeable difference in their raking styles — but I found it very moving, watching them work the soil together, preparing it for future growth.
