We almost went too far up the road. Thank goodness someone thought to bring a shovel. The idea was to help by watching one person dig!
Six of us participated in the Brant Festival's Big Day competition in April 2009. The idea of the competition is to see more species of birds than any other group. By climbing Mount Arrowsmith, we knew we weren't going to with the most species prize. but there was another prize we had set our sites on. That was to see either a White-tailed Ptarmigan or an American Three-toed Woodpecker. We missed on the Ptarmigan, but we did get the Woodpecker despite all our adventures. and won the Bird-of-the-day prize. The snow-line was still very low on the mountain, which meant driving further up than we really should have, and hiking much farther than we anticipated.

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.
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.
My mom is never happier than when taking seventy thousand pictures of me. Inevitably, half of them have me with a "take the #$%^ picture already" expression on my face.
(I made the scarf. I'd take another picture of it, but I can't find the scarf. I fear it may be lost. Aargh. I made it while I was taking gross anatomy. The whole damn summer. Knit knit knit knit.)
