First in a series of three shots that show the progression of our excavations at the Hamline Methodist Church site. On Tuesday we were still digging through sand and gravel fill.
SUCH a gorgeous day today. I wish I didn't have to spend so much of it inside at work but we took a few minutes to play in the yard when we got home. This boy loves to dig! (don't they all?)
That's a full-grown adult chopping ice and all the shloggy stuff that has been falling today: rain first, to create a nice smooth ice skating rink surface on roads, followed by pellets of wet rain that hurt when they thumped into eyeballs, followed by wind and a fluffier layer of snow.
It's pretty.
I guess.

My mother and I enjoyed an ice cream creampuff concoction while watching the crowd dancin' in the street...
After driving into the mountains to look for snakes, but finding the weather horrible--13 C and a howling wind--I headed back down to try a lower road. The conditions were little better, but i saw a small-toothed ferret badger (Melogale moschata) but no snakes. After wandering down a farm trail for a last search before giving up, I heard a noise in the trees from the other side of the bend ahead and expected boar as I approached quietly. As I peered into the bushes, suddenly a pangolin appeared and began digging noisily, tearing into the tree roots. After a minute or so, it ambled away only to then emerge from the brush and cross the path in front of my feet, clambering up the bank so close that I stroked its tail a couple of times, not that it seemed to notice.
The engineer has turned all four units online, and all are shoving with all they have.
