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. :]
The best part about crate digging is the raw elation you feel after finding that one record after hours of searching. The constant hunt brings you closer and closer to the sounds that are waiting to serenade your senses. During this trip I had the great luck of finding the "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" single by Daft Punk.

Arzuma Tindano (28) leads an eight-member crew of miners at Djuga, an artisanal mine in north-eastern Burkina Faso. They all trust him. They believe in his strength and his judgment.
His 'office' is a 20 meters deep, narrow, dangerous and claustrophobic pit. The air there is thick, hot and humid with constant dust atacking his longs. He is just about to go into his pit again to do his night shift after he finishes his cigarete. Working in the night is better, he says, because the air is a bit cooler.

We're attempting to create a new landscape in our front yard. We've been digging up old roots and preparing for beauty to come. Sort-of how I feel about my life at the moment.

An impromptu clam digging at the Shine Tidelands State Park. We came across a spot where we hit our limit on the little neck and the butter clams in no time. ktula made clam pasta and clam pizza from our harvest. The pasta was top-notch. This was his first attempt on making clam pizza. It was a bit too oily, soggy, and too fishy.

From an old slide. A few days of blizzards left huge amounts of drift piled against, through and around the tractors and caravan trains. Here is the start of the process of digging out the tractors from the huge amounts of snow that accumulated every time we had a blizzard - typically twice weekly on our return trip.
