Pendleton, Indiana (01-28-09) The snow storm that swept across Indiana and much of the Midwest Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning left Pendleton, as well as the rest of Indiana, digging out much of Wednesday.
Many businesses and all of the area schools were closed because of the road conditions. Devon Price and George Price, for the Pendleton-Gazette, were out Wednesday morning and captured what the snow storm left behind.
Using simple tools like screwdrivers and garden shovels, 35 million year old fossils literally fall into your hands.
Here we have the fork head,the discardable metal socket with the broken stub, a 2 ' piece of black pipe (from a gas line intallation), and the 4'3" stainless steel display rack pipe (1 1/4" o.d.) We're now ready to assemble the tool.
The shank on the digging fork has to be ground down slightly at the four corners so that it will slip snuggly into the black pipe for the weld up.
Today we were digging a trench for the fence we're putting in for the Kingdom Hall. We worked from 9am-2pm. It was hot, the ground was incredibly hard, and we had faulty tools that kept breaking. We loved it.
First we put down a string and broke through with the tools, then we moved the string and did the same on the otherside. After that, we started removing the grass from on top. After the grass was off, we softened the soil by digging into it and breaking up the clumps. The dirt was mixed with clay and rocks, so a few of the tools broke and bent. It was actually extremely hard work in the incredibly hot sun. Good news, the clouds rolled in after we were all done. Figures. :]
I finished up the trench on day 2, after another half hour of digging. I was still sick, and fat, so I was soaked with sweat by the end, and felt like puking. I had to take a shower, and spend 40 minutes relaxing, so I could feel normal again. I think I need to figure out an exercise regimen, and also get better. This was my 20th day of being ill with the flu, though I was very nearly better by this point.
I haven't seen too many of these pretty black swallowtails this year.
I caught this one on one of my petunias in my garden up home.
There are huge piles of snow in front of our house. We've been digging some snow tunnels to those with my sons.
I have seen five sorts of pig: Digging Pig, Sleeping Pig, Eating Pig, Annoying Pig, and Contemplative Pig.
You know we live in the north of Sweden and last weekend it suddenly fell a lot of snow again...grrr...! And a lot fell down from the roofs one week ago!
