It's really bad when you can't even enter your parking spot, and have to dig it out first. A view of our parking lot after the snowstorm.

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.

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.

I went back to the car to change lenses and when I was about to go back I was taken back by the beauty of this view.
There were hundreds of folks out there digging for razor clams and we all saw this... It was quite incredible!

Student volunteers from the University of North Texas Alpha Phi Omega service fraternity got back to nature at Audubon’s newest center, the Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center at Cedar Hill (20 minutes southwest of Dallas and slated to open in late 2011). Volunteers picked up trash, removed invasive species, dug stumps from the middle of the center’s first hiking trail, and shifted piles of woody brush and fallen trees to widen the trail for hikers.
Two projects in one! My instant picture project and my chinese lantern project. This one is still hanging on and in fact is digging a little hole where the wind blows it around. If we get much more snow it will be buried however.
The Devil's Punch Bowl is a large natural amphitheatre and beauty spot near Hindhead, Surrey, in England, and is the source of many stories about the area. The old London to Portsmouth road (the A3) runs along one of its higher contours. The land is now owned and maintained by the National Trust as part of the "Hindhead Commons & The Devil's Punch Bowl Café" property. Hindhead Youth Hostel is located inside the bowl. It was once called Highcombe, after the Celtic term combe, meaning forested valley. The lower part of the bowl is still named Highcombe Bottom. Above the London to Portsmouth road lies Gibbet Hill, Hindhead.
However, local legend has a much more colourful theory as to its creation. According to one story, during the Middle Ages the Devil became so irritated by all the churches being built in Sussex that he decided to dig a channel from the English Channel, through the South Downs, and flood the area. As he began digging, he threw up huge lumps of earth, each of which became a local landmark — such as Chanctonbury Ring, Cissbury Ring, Mount Caburn and Rackham Hill. He got as far as the village of Poynings (an area known as the Devil's Dyke) when he was disturbed by a cock crowing (one version of the story claims that it was the prayers of St Dunstan that made all the local cocks crow earlier than usual). Assuming that dawn was about to break, he leapt into Surrey, creating the Devil's Punch Bowl where he landed.
Another story goes that, in his spare time, he hurled lumps of earth at the god Thor to annoy him. The hollow he scooped the earth out of became the Punchbowl. The local village of Thursley means Thor's place. Such stories are considered to be of Celtic, Norse, and Saxon origin.
It is these stories, the beauty of the area and the diversity of nature it attracts that has gained the Devil's Punch Bowl the title of a Site of Special Scientific Interest. This title has recently helped save the Devil's Punch Bowl from redevelopment of the A3 which is needed to relieve traffic congestion in the area, this section of the A3 being only single-carriageway. The National Trust have co-operated with developers who have designed a twin bore tunnel running underneath the surrounding area of the Devil's Punch Bowl. The tunnel will not only preserve the area from the road widening originally proposed but, once complete, will remove the heavy traffic congestion which affects this section of the A3 in peak hours, in turn bringing considerable environmental benefits and tranquillity to this internationally valued area.

For the Now You Digging Deeper workshop. Playing around with props! An umbrella on a cold rainy day.
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.
The proper hole for a new tree should be as deep as the distance from the root flare to the bottom of the root ball, but at least twice as wide. This is wider and shallower than you probably thought.
18/52: Bren and his partner in crime, Liza, have completely dug up and destroyed a planting bed which I had covered in lava rock - hence the red color of the telltale nose...
