Farewell to the Digging Season that Wasn't

Those of us who had our excavating season done in by Corona virus have at least been issued the same time slots in 2021.  So I won't mourn the lack of Finding.  All the artifacts grand and small, all the features humble, spectacular or robbed out by later peasants....we'll see them next May.

No, its the people and the landscape I miss.  Here's a bit of a wander down nostalgia lane, with much of it drawing upon our weekend Excursions....

Drinks on the patio.



Sue about to meet "My Little Pony"  Possibly Big McIntosh?



Wandering the hills.  8 years later I still use that shapeless green bag to haul groceries home from far less scenic walks.


Pete making something rude out of clay.  He seems to be giving Pierre a bit of advice from the perspective of an Old Married Guy to someone in a new relationship...


For some reason there are many photos of Pierre consuming large quantities of food...but he remains lean and fit.


Pete showing off on a tumbled down roman column.  What was he trying to demonstrate?


I vaguely recall that he was re-enacting the famous Slim Pickens scene from Dr. Strangelove, but it could just as easily been more advice for Pierre.
