"Jonas," the winter storm that hit Washington, DC on 22-23 January, left about 2 feet of snow in our area, with higher drifts.It took some time to uncover our car.
Hot Water Beach, Coromandel - There's a hot spring directly under about 100m of this beach. You just dig your own hot pool in the sand and relax as it fills with soothing hot water. Sometimes a spot is too hot and you have to dig a few feet away to get the temperature just right.
It's just perfect laying there, with the hot water, crashing waves in the distance, clean air, and scenery. The only thing that can spoil it are the droves of tourists bused in at certain times during the day.
The best time is mid to late afternoon. You can usually freeload an abandoned hot pool from earlier visitors. Get there too late and the tide will be too high, washing all the pools away.
On 12th January, 2010 a 7.0 earthquake rocked Haiti, killing more than 250,000 and leaving more than 1.3 million residents homeless. EDV responded to the Haiti earthquake in early June 2010, and we are working with Classique
school.
The school survived the earthquake undamaged. As one of the only surviving schools in the community, it has been inundated with children wanting to attend classes. The school’s director also allows many of the children in local orphanages attend for free.
But in attending, the children were facing health risks because of the flooding which affected the property.
Working with our local partners, GrassRoots United, and the school’s staff, we engaged international and Haitian volunteers to dig a large drain and relieve the flooding on the school’s property.
As there is very little working sanitation in the area, the mud also contained human faeces. Many of the children do not have shoes, so there was a risk of them contracting a waste borne illness. The standing water also provided a haven for mosquitoes which carry malaria and dengue.
The school also hosts a vocational training school which was severely affected by the earthquake. We hope that this drainage project will be the first step toward helping the vocational training school get back on its feet.

Several years ago we purchased a wonderful piece of land in the untouched hills above the city where I was born. Summer days are sooooo hot here and the sun is strong so this year during our visit to Montenegro we decided to try to find water and build a well.
I was surprised to learn that my high school math teacher is also a well-known and successful “water-finder” in the area. He uses the principles of radiesthesia. First he surveyed the lot with the brass dowsing pendulum and then he used two L-shaped brass wire rods. He managed to locate about 7 “water spots" and then marked the strongest one for us to start digging. www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://diviningmind.com/stor...
At that particular spot he estimated that there are 4 water runs that are meeting at depth of 7-7.5m underground. So we started digging.
I just want to say thank you guys soo much for all the advice, emails and comments that I recieved over Pear's digging habits. lol
I can't wait to see what see her full grown! The vet predicts she will be between 44 to 50 pounds at 20 - 22 inches in height. We sort of run every morning at 6AM.
On Saturday, July 16th Ben & Jerry's teamed up with Flavorpill to host a street party on North 6th Street between Berry and Wythe in Brooklyn, New York. Hundreds of volunteers showed up to help beautify the area with plants, flowers, benches and trash pick-up. Volunteers were also treated to live music by DJ Spooky and of course, FREE ice cream!
"Brenda," the U-Link tunnel boring machine, is digging from Capitol Hill Station to downtown. Workers are shown here cleaning the tunnel with a tunnel vacuum machine.
It was a nice morning so I let Yeti come out to play while I did some gardening :) he was so funny racing around and covering himself in soil! Any ideas what I should plant in here this year? I hated the nasturtiums they got out of hand so I'm potting them instead. I was thinking a couple of lavender bushes, but what else?
A view of the main dock at Penarth under construction. In the back ground is the River Ely, and a sailing ship can be seen loading coal at one of the Coal tips on the river. These were still in use up until 1966 long after the docks at Penarth closed. The docks themselves opened 1865.
Returning to Dosewallips State Park for annual clam digging. Very long ferry line wait had us missed the lowest tide near noon. We still met our daily limit in no time. This year's trail was a lot greener, with the addition of yellow wildflower. ktula brought a bucket of sea water home to soak the clams in overnight. The clams were super active feeding and moving around in the sea water. I love watching them do their things.
The Hands of Time consists of 12 bronze sculptures that depict life-size hands engaged in activities symbolic of Victoria’s past. The three-dimensional hands vary in culture, age and gender, and quietly convey eras and stories of Victoria.
The artwork is designed to playfully engage young and old, local and visitor, while kindling interest in Victoria’s history and identity. Each piece reveals a depth of meaning about Victoria, and beckons exploration and contemplation. The gathering basket element of this sculpture was designed by First Nations artist Carolyn Memnook. Gathering baskets and digging sticks were utilized by the Lekwungen people
to gather Camas bulbs for food. The site of this sculpture overlooks a vast Camas bulb field,
a traditional territory of the Lekwungen people.
