Ross is 14 weeks old, and weighs 14 pounds. (Good things come in small packages). Here you see him at our hike to Kilgore Falls last week.

Beekeeper explains taste of honey to potential buyer at the local street market
Today I spent the day the way I wanted it. Had breakfast at Edith & Rose just around the corner from our place (pretty lucky really...) and bought some tarts for afternoon tea. Then after breakfast I headed to Scrapbook by Design at Kingsford (my favourite scrapbook shop...) and I as got chatting with the owner, I managed to ask her to give me a quick lesson on cardmaking. So will be busy creating some cards or perhaps I will be using the technique to create some more bookmarks.
Then wait for it ... there's more... I even had the time to watch Mamma Mia!!! Oh my gosh gosh gosh... at first I thought to myself this is a little bit cheesy with all the singing and dancing. Then I changed my attitude and said to myself that just watch the movie and enjoy it and don't over analyse (there's nothing to analyse anyway...).
So more random thoughts again... like
- my gosh i've forgot that music sparks some inspiration
- this movie is totally fun, i'm really enjoying this...
- how wonderful it will be if the whole town sing and dance to all Abba's song!!!
- and finally I have totally forgotten this song... I use to sing it when I was a kid (long long long time ago that one...)
- boy did i rip the house down when i got home and cranked up my Abba CD.
- sorry neighbours...
- so I have now decided that if I want some inspiration all i need is just watch one of my favourite movies
Anyway totally way off track up there sorry about that. Nothing to do with Strawberry Custard Tarts... ha ha ha.
Ok why don't you share with us your most favourite song and that you can sing it without care in the world who's watching or listening...

On Tuesday, Mr Chiots and I tried one of each of those carrots that I harvested on Monday. It was very interesting to be able to try so many different kinds at once. The only problem was that it was difficult to tell which was which on some of them, some of my labels had disappeared from the garden, and we didn’t keep them all separate at harvest. So I was going on shape and size based on the description on the seed packets. *note to self* I must find a better labeling pen!

Shot with my Keystone 125x Instamatic Camera / Magicube Flash!
Earlier in the day I cracked open an old 126 cartridge and loaded 12 exposures of Kodak Vision 3 - 50D 35mm film. The Keystone is an EXCELLENT 126 camera with a sharp plastic lens. My recommended camera for 35mm roloads into 126 - Keystone 125x Auto-Instant camera. It easily advances to the next frame by just holding down the shutter button.

Dig film!
The bright red color looks great on the can but the glass - either contour, bell, or from the bottle, makes it taste much much better. And of course, it has to be Georgia Green glass.
Concept: When eating/taste becomes a compulsive act controling the other senses.

SBT Psychological Test -
We all have differences in perception because our cultural backgrounds shaped unconsciously our way of looking at things. What do you see on this pair of mating moth? Concentrate for 10 seconds and say an alphabet from the twenty-six letters. Do not continue to read until you’ve given an answer.
What is interpreted by the brain sheds light also on the inner heart. In this assessment, a great majority will spell the alphabet “H” from their standpoint. The typical traits of men belonging to this group are handsome, honest, hard-working and homely. Ladies are hypnotic, helpful, harmonious and hygienic. To put it in a nutshell, people in this league are happy folks enjoying a healthy mind. You tend to pick up the shape, size and color of laughter easily. How can this possibly be true? Are you one who will walk with a joyous spring even when you couldn’t find work for 6 months? Do you always remember to forget the bad experience and troubles that have passed away? Bingo! To the cheerful, Brussels sprouts and lollypops taste the same because their high-spirited outlook transforms whatever bitter into sweet. For those who are perpetually teary, it takes no more than three inches to drown in the pool of blues. Congrats, you probably don’t know that.
A lesser number will observe “I” in the minority crew. Regardless of gender, those belonging to the second league are deemed by friends as icy, insecure, indifferent and impassive. They are wrapped up with a high level of self-centeredness where everything is about I, I and I all the time. Is the secret password to your email set at 12-12-112? I want to mount up 99 faves, want to hit a million views, want-want to amass a truckload of comments to prove I’m the best) That’s it! Have you, on more than one occasion, been told that you talk about yourself from start to finish until the caterpillars in your stomach develop wings and fly? Have you ever, with eulogy eyes, deride the pathetic crowd and believe you are the only reason the sun shines? Here’s the harsh truth that will make you a better being. You are not a special snowflake that deserves to be framed and admired periodically. For a multitude of reasons, centering on the importance of self will lead to the destruction of self. Get over yourself. Take a minute and listen to my proposal. Put your enlarged ego in a helium balloon today and watch it cease to exist in the consuming sky.
What if you are unable to make out anything from the picture of procreation? Regrettably, you fit into the third kind known as the emotionless. One who is numb to whatsoever naturally will not know how to feel, can barely sleep, never cry, and believe it or not, are immune to fresh air. If you fail to remember what made you smile… if you fail to see what makes life worthwhile… when nothing has meaning… drop everything this moment and hug a tree. The healing greens of nature, the wonderment of the birds and the bees in romance are the only cure for the stony-eyed with blank stare, I can vouch for that.
Thank you for taking the time to read. I hope you have enjoyed the mental health test I prepared for you tonight :-)

The Dining Room of the Fall River Historical Society
December 5th, 2014
This nine-foot tabletop tree is decorated in the traditional manner, with figural blown glass ornaments. The overwhelming number of ornaments provide a spectrum of the color that dazzles visitors.

Each year, beginning the week before Thanksgiving, the Historical Society's mansion is lavishly decorated in the Victorian manner. Holiday spirit abounds from room to room, with the focal point being a magnificent 14-foot Christmas tree in the Music Room. Aglow with thousands of lights, it is a tree guaranteed to instill holiday spirit in both young and old.
Traditional decorations are creatively used, working with a variety of holiday themes, to create a display unlike anything to be seen in the Fall River area. Last year's theme, "Victorian Christmas Traditions," was very well received by the public and was photographed by VICTORIAN HOMES magazine for its Christmas 2003 issue. The Music Room's tree was illuminated by the glow of 4100 white lights, was laden with silver tinsel and decorated with hundreds of mouth-blown glass ornaments typical of the Victorian period. The concept of Christmas as we know it originated in Germany and was introduced to England by Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg Gotha, consort of Queen Victoria. Americans, who strove to emulate the British traditions, quickly adopted the holiday and made it their own. Bavarian glassblowers created untold thousands of ornaments, many of which carry holiday lore. Replicas of many of these ornaments can be found on the Society's tree. Among the most popular are: the glass pickle, which was traditionally hidden on the tree, to be discovered on Christmas morning by the most perceptive child, who was rewarded with a special gift; "Crampus," a small devil-like figure with black horns made of coal, who followed Father Christmas rewarding naughty children with coal; the carrot, an ornament traditionally given to new brides to bring luck in the kitchen.
The parlor was banked with paper poinsettias. This plant was named as a tribute to Mr. Joel R. Poinsett, the American Ambassador to Mexico and amateur botanist, who so admired the Mexican wildflower that he brought it to North America and cultivated it in his own greenhouses. In this manner did it become a major part of our Christmas tradition today. The delicate hothouse plant was a great rarity in cold New England winters and so was often copied by nineteenth-century paper flower makers.
The dining room was ornamented with della robbia of sparkling crystal-beaded fruit, with the table set with a magnificent nineteenth-century Davenport china dessert service. The centerpiece of the table was a three-tiered cake traditionally decorated with candies, nuts and sugared fruit, surmounted by a pink peppermint pig. As the pig was a symbol of good luck in the Victorian era, candy-makers in Saratoga Springs, New York, began to manufacture small peppermint pigs. In observance of the tradition, those who purchased the pigs would, following the holiday meal, shatter the pig so that each family member could taste of the candy as a wish for good luck in the coming year.
In the bedroom stood a tree decorated entirely in nineteenth-century photographs and greeting cards, very typical of trees in Fall River homes during the nineteenth-century, documented by photographs in the Society's collection.
The first floor hallway was simply decorated using evergreens and holly, incorporating roses in tribute to the legend of the Christmas rose. As the story goes, a little girl happened upon the stable in Bethlehem where the Christ child lay. Upset because she had no gift to bring, she began to cry and, incredibly, her tears turned into beautiful roses.
While touring the museum, guests might also want to browse in the museum shop, which is filled with a vast number of unique gifts. Here you can find the right present for that someone special on your list. This year, many new mouth-blown glass ornaments will also be featured. Among our museum shop bestsellers are delectable sugar plums, the traditional Victorian candy meant to bring sweet dreams to any child that slept with one beneath its pillow.
The Fall River Historical Society hopes you will take advantage of this opportunity to visit. The museum will be "decked out" for the occasion in the grand manner of an elegant Victorian mansion and will be a sight to behold!
These are some of the highlights of the holiday exhibit last year at the Historical Society.
Museum hours are: Monday through Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. The museum will close at 12:00 noon on Christmas Eve and will be closed Christmas Day. For further information, please call (508) 679-1071.

A tourist reacts to the sample he is tasting, much to the amusement of the ladies serving at this stall in the Nishiki market, Kyoto, Japan.
Nishiki market is over 400 years old and steeped in tradition. The market has 135 open-fronted shops selling souvenirs, crafts, seafood and Japanese snacks. It is nearly always jam-packed with a mixture of locals and tourists.
My favorite local pizza place (Score Pizza) selects two random names each week. If yours is one of them, you get a free pizza. Georgia photographed me, savoring my free pizza this evening. Free really does taste better.
A cold day today, but even so, the sun smiled with a rainbow and the clouds played together!

Yesterday we had an interesting and fun tour of the Crops of the World Garden at the UC Botanical Garden. The horiculturist explained and gave us a tasting of some unusual cultivars. This is an old watermelon type--quite sweet. Seeds obtainable from a company that specializes in old varieties, Baker Creek. It was very tasty! The variety is called "Moon and Stars", introduced in 1926.
