We went for our customary backyard walk this morning and Shizandra was sniffing everything, then she started digging a hole, like there was something very interesting under the ground. Then she plopped herself down and put her paws in the hole. It seemed like she had a purpose for all this. I'm still trying to figure it out!
More from a series on the demolition of the downtown parking ramp, an eyesore that has covered Rock River for the last 40 years.
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.

On 7th January 17 people started digging on the site next to Carter's House at the entrance to the Valley of the Kings. They are involved in the important task of preserving the tombs in the Theban Necropolis. An exact facsimile of the tomb of Tutankhamun will open to visitors next spring.
The project has been funded by Factum Foundation.

We saw this at a site in the Henry Mountains area, a site with lots of tool sharpening groves and such. It may have been washed up by all the recent rains. It's heavily worn but the left end looked to have been sharpened. Digging stick?
Haven't had any time to sort out any "recent" shots from my archives so I've decided to clear some older stuff up that's been lurking since 2009.
First up will be a series of uploads from the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, taken back when they didn't try ax extort vast sums of money from you for walking around a field.
The Classique 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.

I've been digging up the stumps left over from the hedge I cut down over Spring Break. Unfortunately it's more difficult to dig out the stumps than it was to take down the hedge.

Middlebury Girl Scouts Put Butterfly Houses in Park - 9-18-2020. Just the first step of revitalizing Hermance Park in Bristol, Indiana, the Middlebury Girl Scouts Troop 00377 chose to pursue their Bronze award project in the park. Bronze is the highest award a 4 or 5th grade girl can earn. 10 of these 13 girls have been together in scouts since 1st grade and have all grown into great friends and sisters. They finished the award by building butterfly houses and hanging them in Hermance Park on Friday evening, Sept. 18, 2020.Their Butterfly houses were painted in bright colors along with Images of flowers or simple designs in a combination of bright colors to attract the butterfly’s attention. Four houses each were mounted on a 3 different poles in the park. Butterfly houses provide a convenient area for butterflies to find shelter from the elements and to hide from hungry predators. Park Board member Linda Powell donated a bucket of milkweed seeds for the girls to scatter as as an attraction for the butterflies. With the guidance of adult volunteers, like Jill Swartz and the Duran Family, Girl Scouts earn badges, explore the outdoors, attend fun events and field trips, and participate in the Girl Scout cookie program.

is serious buisness! Laser digs holes to find things/bury treasures. Anna digs hole to lay in. She is quite the frantic digger, as you can see here......
I'd come home for lunch today and while inside the house I heard this banging noise on the side of the house. I looked Looked out the window and it was Anna.... working!
Three small figures stand beside a small hole in the earth, in the garden beside Christ Church Spitalfields. This was the fourth of the installations that we found on the treasure hunt.

Although am aiming to do 'no dig' on the site, with a heady mix of compacted soil and zillions of deep rooted docks and other delights, have resorted to clearing the soil fully first before the mulch of manure.

There was a lot of noise below our bedroom this morning as a large and noisy crew were digging a hole in the road in order to supply natural gas for heating to the house next door.
Spent the day chiselling chunks of wayward concrete from beneath the fence, chopping up the cement base exposed when the flags were lifted, gathering up the gravel from the troughs either side of the garden and digging soil that backs up against the breeze block pen.
It's donkey work, but it will open things up. The garden is shaping up nicely.
