I just learned what a hoodoo is because of a cool comment left-you have to check these out!

These are from a photographer named Barnchaser

Here is the lovely wall before:

Here is the other side about half way through digging up the dirt (done by me):

Here is the wall about half way down and yes that's the tools I used a small pick and hammer, very zen!

I then built up some upper body strength and graduated to the sledge hammer. It was really ironic one day when Peter Gabriel's song "Sledgehammer" came on the radio while I was working, I totally giggled. And yes those are safety glasses, little chips of rock were flying all over the place!

I have to say it was very cathartic and satisfying. Everyone should break a wall down. Be sure to put it on your "to-do" list!
So anyway there is the proof that I have a ton of rocks and I will be re-purposing these babies into some hoodoos soon! And maybe I will draw eyes on them........
