Ground Control

Some people don’t mind getting their hands dirty, while other folks live for it. Trey Davey Edds belongs to the latter group; he loves the dirty work. Give him a shady spot and a place to dig, and he’s as happy as a clam (in butter sauce). Look away a moment at the playground, and he’ll start digging under the slides. Take him to the blueberry picking patch, and he’ll slip behind the bushes to dig in the soil. Turn your head a moment while resting on the back steps, and he’s burrowing in the flower pots. This dirty business is not popular with his mother and tests the limits of her new and improved laundry detergent, but it may one day become profitable should he choose to become an archeologist, excavator, miner or farmer.
