Sometimes I wonder whimsically what goes through the children's mind as they explore and learn about the world around them- A rock? Two rocks. Let me try to count. Its shape and colour? What is this strange hard texture? Can I eat this? Let me taste this- and the parent comes over and gently teaches him not to put things in his mouth.

In a week where millions of Londoners voted for it's Mayor and plenty of others placed a cross in their local elections THIS was the one where it really mattered - the third Channel Hastings Photo Challenge...(though the guy in the background appears rather unphased by the significance of it all)

Walking the beach with my brother, he fills my head with the wonders of the world. We search the beach for artifacts (well he does, I am too easily distracted by all the rocks and shells, the sound of the sea, the view of the mountains). He knows the best spots to find artifacts, and the best times to find them, what they are made from, how they were used. He knows the types of woods that have washed up on the shores, the names of all the birds I see (see my previous photo Best Intentions for how well I do at that!) Here, he studies a piece of an old Douglas Fir - counts the rings, and explains how you can tell many things from the depth between the rings. A little tree history all contained in this one piece. Always such a joy to spend time with him. Thanks big brother!
NOLA 2018 - Easter Sunday Parades
The story goes that the daughter of Count Arnaud started the Historic French Quarter Parade close to 100 years ago. Today the parade starts at 9:45 a.m. at Antoine's Restaurant (715 Rue St. Louis). It includes a stop for the 11 a.m. mass at the St. Louis Cathedral and resume parading at noon after a promenade in Jackson Square.
The parade features stylish ladies in lovely hats handing out goodies via both carriages and convertibles and disbands in front of Antoine's where the ladies promenade through the main dining room handing out stuffed bunnies and Easter trinkets to the patrons.
Easter Sunday's lineup of parades starts early that morning with The Historic French Quarter Easter Parade from Antoine's Restaurant at 9:45 a.m. to St. Louis Cathedral for 11:00 a.m. Mass. The parade, consisting largely of mule-drawn carriages and old convertibles, makes its leisurely, roundabout way through the French Quarter, handing out stuffed Easter bunnies to the kids, along with other trinkets.
Following Mass, participants in the parade promenade to Jackson Square opposite the Cathedral to show off their Easter bonnets and other finery before returning to Antoine's. Awards are given out for the best Easter bonnets, Easter baskets and overall Easter attire.
Later, around 1:00 p.m. is the Chris Owens French Quarter Easter Parade. This tradition, which began back in the early 1980s, features renowned French Quarter singer, dancer and all-around entertainer Chris Owens as the Grand Duchess. She stands proudly on her gaily decorated float, assisted by elegantly attired attendants while decked out in one of her stunning, tight-fitting outfits.
The parade starts at the corner of Canal and Bourbon streets and makes its way through the French Quarter, past the Chris Owens Club at 500 Bourbon, with colorful floats and vintage convertibles and accompanied by one or more of the city's famous brass bands. Plus dance groups and other entertainers. And, of course, since this is a New Orleans parade, there will be plenty of throws - Easter-themed - to catch from the floats and the open-top cars. This parade is a sight you'll never forget!
Then, later in the afternoon, is yet another parade, the Gay Easter Parade, put on by the city's GLBT community. Being nowhere near as wild or extravagant as a Mardi Gras parade, but rather family-friendly, the Gay Easter Parade takes a leisurely route through the French Quarter, passing every gay bar and many gay-owned restaurants and retail shops. The paraders ride horse-drawn carriages or floats while wearing showy versions of their Easter Sunday finest. Don't be surprised if you see a gaggle of motorcycle dudes in leather and Easter bonnets might roar by. Spectators can expect to see (and catch!) plenty of beads and other throws.

this is my favourite drink ever. i drank two yesterday. it was exactly $2 at the clinic and $2+tax elsewhere. oh yeah, i had to go to the clinic to get both of my inhalers replaced. i've been without the important one for a few months and i've been using a basically empty blue one for a few weeks. i don't have prescription coverage anymore since i'm 21, so i've been trying to go as long as possible without my medication. my sister paid for them since i gave my last $100 to my parents. i should probably get a job so that this doesn't happen again.

One of the daily chores that Steve performs is counting the feed in his 4 giant feed bins. He could do it by having digital scales installed under the bins, but that costs $2,000 per bin - money that could be used for many other things, from a tractor to college tuition. So, instead, every afternoon, he takes a home-made 12 foot shovel, climbs to the top of each bin to level off the feed in each one using the shovel, and then measures the amount remaining. It's a necessary task, to stay current and order new feed to be delivered just-in-time by Tyson, so that the chickens never go hungry. Like every business - no matter how complicated - the formula for success boils down to some basics. For chicken farming, the basics are: 1. you keep them dry and safe, 2. you water and feed them regularly, and 3. you collect all of the eggs you can while breaking as few as possible doing it. As his Tyson manager first dryly told him "It ain't rocket science," but it still involves 100 little details every week, that separate the best farmers from the rest.
