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.

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.

Here are some b/w film images I took years ago.
Here a large steel mill loader digs out the slag that has been poured off the electric arc furnace. I love the "2Hot-4U" license plate, lol.

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!

Frank was taking time from his schedule to dig up all the pecans that squirrels buried in the backyard.
Plus this photo shows Frank's coat - which is hard to photograph (being it is many shades of brown/tan) unless the lighting is just right.

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?

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.

I did some one-handed digging so that I could get photos at the same time. Totally safe.

Tunisian-Spiced Leg of Lamb. I overcooked it just a little. I used half a leg and could have taken 20 minutes off the spin time.

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.
During the winter, honey bees consume honey to generate heat. Carbon dioxide gas and water vapor result from metabolizing honey. Carbon dioxide is heavier than air and it settles to the bottom of the hive and flows out the bottom entrance. The warm moist air rises from the cluster hitting the cold inner cover causing condensation. This condensation drips down upon the bees as ice-cold water. The dripping water can have a negative effect upon the delicate exchange of food and warmth. Proper ventilation of the hive is necessary to keep the colony dry. Top entrances allow water vapor to escape and provide the bees a second exit. #savethebees #beekeeping #beekeeperlife #beekeepers #apricutores #apiary #backyardbeekeeping #beehive #honeybees #bienenvolk #imkerin #imkerei #idahome #thisisboise #damniloveboise #iamboise
