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.

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.

between Turkish Republic and Afghanistan. Construction will take three months.
Digging through some old 2016 images, this one popped up in the thumbnails. Barber pole updraft spiraling, May 22nd, south of Sterling City, Texas. Farther than I'd like through the haze with the river valley in the way, but that oil field road had a great vantage.
I put away the wide angle lens and spent a few hours on the parkway today looking for the birds and the bees. :-D
10 minutes into snowblowing the driveway, the snowblower's auger drive belt broke, so I had to resort to hand shoveling. Uggh! 14 inches of snow and a very big driveway.

327/365 Days in Color
I noticed this beautiful , bright day lily in my neighbor's garden. Once I peered over the fence, I saw a bonus chocolate brown butterfly, enjoying lunch !!. I think it's a Eastern Tiger Swallowtail, the dark version, but I'm not 100% sure :)

Older daughter was anticipating that we will find gold while digging... I explained to her that if we find water that IS gold.
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.

Ministry crews remove an estimated 4,000 cubic metres of gravel, silt, sand, mud and trees from the catchment bowl caused by a mudslide on Highway 6, 20 km south of New Denver.
Four 8ft by 4ft beds for the rotation, with mulched paths in between. Nearly half way on the digging it through and removing big stones and the naughty last bits of dock roots.
