Bronx Center for Science (BCSM) and Mathematics Senior, Sakile Broomes, digs the latrine for a new school in Mali. The school was funded with donations raised by BCSM students and was built through the buildOn afterschool service program.
when she is out of sorts she goes out and digs around in the garden. She has never been a digger and so I hope she is taking care of all the weeds.
I'm digging over the last bit of the garden at the moment, so that we can plant grass seed in there. Tough work, but satisfying.
The Bembix sand wasps are a genus of insects that may rarely be noticed. Despite this, they are beneficial to people. Unlike other parasitoid wasps, Bembix spp. continually care for their larva. They return to the tunnel dug in the sand and bring the young one fly after another to feed on. One larva can consume over 25 flies before maturing.
You can see in this photo the proficiency with which sand wasps dig. This one is using her front legs to spray the sand up and out of the hole, shooting it under her abdomen and behind her. They are fun to watch, harmless, and keep the population of biting flies on the beach at bay. Very cool insects!
The first day's digging is in the foreground. It dried out a lot overnight. You can see the color-change against the two piles of dirt from today's digging.

Hundreds of people have tried digging for gold after an artist announced he had buried 30 bars of gold on a beach.
German artist Michael Sailstofer said he had hidden £10,000 worth of gold under the sand on a beach in Folkestone.
He hid the gold there as part of a three month art festival. The organisers say diggers can keep any gold they find.
But it's not going to be easy to find the gold. The artist has buried metal rings called washers to throw gold hunters off the scent.
Lewis Biggs, curator of the festival, said: "There are 30 gold bars buried there, along with a lot of washers, so if you bring your metal detector you will find a lot of washers before you find any gold."
"We will never know if the gold has been found or not," he said. [BBC News]
It's high tide and the gold rush is over, but somebody' still hopeful. I have no idea how many have been found, and no, I didn't go digging myself. The bars are really small.
The squirrels could smell peanuts underneath the background snow -- where I usually put food -- and started digging once walnuts ran out.

In honor of National Public Lands Day 2009, Toyota and Audubon employees came out in droves to volunteer at the Audubon Center at Mitchell Lake. Volunteers spread mulch, removed debris, and planted native plants - improving the environment for humans and wildlife alike!
Still digging a month after beginning, here with my daughter providing some wonderful help. Hard to find time to build a wall when you have two children. My son, two months old at this time, was on the sidelines supervising. The ground was packed full of fill such as giant rocks, not to mention tonnes of roots, so it was much harder than it looks. It would have been much easier renting a mini-backhoe, however me and Elizabeth enjoyed our project, and there was less time pressure not having to worry about returning some rental equipment.
