Seen on my daily walk: an old rocking chair converted to a flower planter.

The plants, worms and bacteria living in this sculpture rely on each other and on human participation. They are fed entirely on waste generated by us: coffee grounds and veggie scraps from our kitchen, old newspapers and shredded junk mail from our offices, and carbon dioxide from our breath. They are watered by our rocking leisurely in the chair, which mechanically pushes water up to the top of the ecosystem and causes it to circulate through each part; delivering to the plant roots aerated water that has been fertilized by the worms living in the stream.
Partnering with living ecosystems benefits humans too, as the plants provide cleansed air and the worms provide local waste disposal services. Worm composting keeps waste out of the landfill, saving us from generating more greenhouse gas. Methane is a greenhouse gas that is produced by rotting food, even inside of traditional, outdoor compost bins. Worm composting does not produce methane and it does not create odors. Breathe easy, and invite them into your home.
This little rocking chair has been in my family for decades. My mom isn't quite sure when it showed up, but several of her seven siblings sat in it as little kids. My cousins and I sat in it as kids ourselves; I have a picture of me in it when I was about five-years-old.
This picture is a dual homage. First, to my family for keeping this treasured heirloom and for giving it to me to share with my son. Second, to raewillow who creates the most beautiful images with old chairs. They are among my favorite flickr images.

Mom & I at my aunt Patty's house, she lived on Broccoli St. I still find that really entertaining.
Roseburg, OR; 1984
This Indian Rocking Chair belonged to Edward V. Bridge. We have no reliable information on the origins of this unique piece, but we believe that it may have been used in his photography studio.
I restored this chair and a mate for my mother. They belonged to her mother. Not sure of their age but I know they are fairly old. I like the green and the end caps were a nice touch. Wish I could find a few more.
The public art project this year is wooden rocking chairs. This one has traditional Norwegian rosemaling painting. I think it's very pretty!
Cartoonist Baby will be sleeping in a cosleeper bassinet in our room for at least 4 or 5 months, but her room is already underway:
--Masheka painted the walls a lovely shade of Benjamin Moore "Sweet Butter" yellow (low VOC, of course).
--The rocking chair is the same chair my mom rocked me in when I was a baby--she just refinished and recovered it.
--The crib is IKEA's Gulliver crib. Don't worry--we know there should be no stuffed animals or quilts in a crib when the baby is sleeping in it, they're just on display for now. (My mom made the quilt).
--On the door you can see three of the Mei Tai style baby carriers my mother made for us.
Obviously we have a lot more to do--hang artwork, for one. But it's a great start! I'll put up pics of the guest bed and the dresser later.
Terence Trent d'Arby's - Dance little sister - first sentence; Get up outta your rocking chair Grandma, comes is my mind.
saw this tucked in the Hospitality Room and sat down to snap some shots of it. Just really liked the quiet and simplicity of the scene.

Rocking chair from the late 19th century that's been in my family for generations. It's not worth anything, having been painted and refinished multiple times, but it's very comfortable, as far as unpadded wood chairs go.
We stopped at the Hancock Shaker Village, just over the border in Massachsetts. There is a village of restored, original buildings with Shaker artifacts. They valued simplicity and this rocking chair is a typical design. The strong colours are not atypical, Shakers liked bright colour.
Merry Christmas to my Flickroo friends! See you start of the New Year ( unless there is an awesome picture to share).

À trois
Sam Mourier
Il était bon le repas
De petits plats et de vin fin
À la lueur des bougies
Et du jazz dans un coin.
Les yeux brillants les joues rougies
On a bien mangé tous les trois.
On a remis le même disque
Rentrés chez nous à la maison,
On dansé dans la pénombre
Comme soudés par la musique
Tous les trois vibrant à l’unisson
Jusqu’au profond de la nuit sombre.
Avant que le sommeil nous prenne,
On s’est serrés et dit : « Je t’aime »
On a fait tout ce qu’on a dit
Glissant au son des mélodies.
Quelle soirée passée à trois :
Toi, Mélody Gardot et moi !
