I visited the Riverbanks Zoo and Gardens in Columbia, SC - USA. This brown bear (grizzly) was digging for a snack in the residence.
Sunday was Father's Day in the U.S. My brother-in-law's son gave him 2,500 square feet of sod for his lawn as a gift. We all got to help. It wasn't just sod, it was plantings, redesigning the sprinkler system, digging ditches, shopping on the way for ice and water. I am now officially tired and sore. I'm a photographer, for heaven's sake, not a gardener.
I nearly banged on the window as I have some pretty little miniture narcissi planted there...probably already eaten, we'll see!
Digging the trenches for the foundation. I am either pondering life's great mysteries or taking a break.

Jayda wanted to bury her feet so I told her to dig a hole. Chloe joined in on the fun. Her hole ended up being deeper than j's and we all got covered in sand thanks to the dog.
This is one corner of my front yard after Ike.
We are slowing digging out.
No internet at home yet ,as you can see in photo that our computer satellite got smashed.
After 2 weeks we finally have electricity back though. :)
Lots of suspenders. I heard somewhere that the belt was the first piece of clothing? Obviously not true. It was the suspender! After that the pants were invented so as to have something for the suspender to hold up.
Backhoe operator Andy Currie (Bear) digs the trench that will carry the new insulated water and electrical lines from the well to the house. Greg Saxon is keeping watch.
We had a bonfire at the weekend and my daughter kept herself busy looking for buried spuds.
Four were found before she'd had enough.
Wooden handled digging forks often break because moisture is trapped in the socket and the wood rots. People often toss them away when they calculate the cost of the hard wood replacement and the time and skill needed to carry out the job.
I salvage the fork heads, grind the holding rivet and punch it out to release the broken wood stub from the socket. I replace the handle with my 1 1/4in o.d. stainless steel pipe I scrounge from department store display racks. The piece in the photo was 8 1/2 ft. long, so cut in half it is 4'3 " long, enough for two forks.
I measured and marked the lot line and easement line with twine, then marked out the spacing of the trees with spray paint. Hubby dug the holes for the trees, and I planted and mulched them. We started on Sunday and I finished the mulching on Tuesday.
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.
