First bit was to dig the truck out, unfortunately the spade handle broke and still no hope when a second spade was used.
and digging through my fabric scraps resulted in this cute ruffled skirt overalls. We love it! And I'm happy to have another use for those scraps.
P.S. I got the idea for this from an Asian blog. I thought I had bookmarked it, but now can't find it. If I turn up the link I'll share. I did draft my own pattern and constructed the garment differently, but the overall look is the same.

Planting my peach orchard. I planted six peach trees in my back yard this afternoon. Here you can see me digging a hole. (That gray thing on the right that looks like a cactus is the sole of my left shoe. I've always wanted to put the camera in the bottom of the hole to see what I look like looking in.)
The work has finally begun on a new development in my area. We fought the good fight to preserve the land, but after 20 years it looks like we lost.

Okay, maybe just a seed, not gold. Regardless, sometimes it seems as though these fellows are happier upside-down than right side up!

The wind blew peacefully through the trees. Birds chirped, squirrels chattered, and the sound of leaves falling could be heard in the thick, beautiful forest of southern Lenfald. Bits of red and orange were beginning to appear in the treetops. The forest was changing, green was giving way to red.
Sir Glennian reflected on this as he and his companions treaded, almost silently, on the old forest road. So many things had happened recently, the once peaceful land of Roawia was now aching with the pains of conflict and turmoil, and the only plausible outcome seemed to be war. Loreos, only few miles walk southward, was now threatening invasion. Green did indeed seem to be giving way to red.
Sounds of people now reached Sir Glennian’s ears, and he saw they had almost reached their destination. As he came around a bend in the path, he saw it, not a hundred yards ahead of him. A deep hole had been dug in the center of the path, nearly fifteen feet deep, and men could be seen swarming around it.
“Foreman!” Sir Glennian shouted.
All the workers turned and noticed their visitors, and a stout man in a green cloak turned to greet them. He had a thick, curly, brown beard covering his smiling face, which was topped with thick, curly, brown hair.
“Ah, you are here at last!” He greeted them. “We have made much progress on the work. As you can see, the hole is over a dozen feet deep. Just an hour ago the blacksmith arrived with the spikes that will be stuck in the bottom. Then we will cover it with branches spread over with dirt, and the next Loreesi scum who comes through here-”
He broke off with a large wave of his hand, indicating the destruction the Loreesi would face.
Glennian nodded. “Well, let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.”
He looked forlornly down the path. Somewhere in that direction was a great desert…one in which war was brewing, a war that, he feared, Lenfald could never be completely ready for.

Well, I was going to enter this into the last Lenfald LC, but I obviously didn’t finish it in time. Congrats to Gary and Paul on the wins! ;)
Soli Deo Gloria! :)
No names in this small snapshot album which is around 7 by 5 inches Black and white snaps of mainly beach and garden family scenes. Said to be 1930's according to dealer I bought it from?
Part of the Beach Moments Project . Includes Candid , Vintage and Family Moments on a beach.
My neighbors and I begin digging out after the Nor'easter dumped 29 inches (NWS official report) of snow, overnight. It took me 3 hours, using a snowblower, to clear my driveway and the walkway to the front door. 5/6 foot drifts were not uncommon.
The mail box at the end of the driveway stands 4 foot.
We took our first trip to the beach this year - and Tara's first ever! As soon as we sat down to eat our picnic lunch the seagulls came! Each one is about as big as a cat and there were a lot of them. Tara kept digging bunkers to hide in and attack from. Of course he was too scared to attack!
