the ground hog family is still providing great entertainment ... I had to cover the hole into the den because Toby was sticking his head down it ... so one baby ground hog was sitting on the wooden palate and the other was sticking his head up from the hole and then between the slats of the palate ... check out the teeth on the baby in the hole!
IT WAS A FUN APRIL 1ST at the SAINT STUPID DAY'S PARADE in SAN FRANCISCO. There is no other event in the world where folks gather to HAVE FUN and poke fun at the embedded horrid capitalist exploitation of the world.
Everyone came in costume...ADDA came as a REPUBLICAN BURNING IN HELL (which we all know in our deepest of hearts is where all REPUBLICANS and RIGHT WING A-0's will end up) ! i shouted MERRY CHRISTMAS to all the business people in the Financial District who stopped and stared in utter confusion.
Everyone gathered at the EMBARCADERO then proceeded to the WORKERS STATUE. There in honor of CLOWNS WITHOUT BOARDERS they put a 'red clown nose' on one of the statues! ADDA DADA got the crowd cheering 'HERO' for the guy who put the nose on the statue.
then to the PACIFIC STOCK EXCHANGE for the wonderful spoof...SOCK EXCHANGE...everyone exchanged socks & then tossed them in the air! One of ADDA DADA's Christmas SANTAs socks were found and declared a SAINT STUPID HOLY RELIC! (you so know i loved that)
Onward we went to the BANKER's HEART...the big, black marble rock in front of BANK OF AMERICA...where everyone tossed their loose pennies at the banker's black greedy heart! (This is just like the muslims in Mecca who toss rocks at the black stone which represents the devil..)
There was tons of good fun, great signs, good vibes, political statements, and incredible costumes
Good luck that the videos go on JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE tonight
This gorgeous thing is a rhubarb fool. It's ridiculously easy to make. Precise measurements can be found here:

Me, I just took 3 gorgeous long stalks of ruby red rhubarb picked only hours ago, and cooked them with some sugar and a tiny bit of water. Once they sort of broke open and were all thready, I lowered the heat to a simmer, took off the lid, and let everything reduce down a bit. Adjust the sugar if you need to.
Meanwhile, I kept my Kitchenaid bowl and whisk attachment in the freezer. While the rhubarb was cooling, I took some heavy cream, a little sugar, and a tiny bit of vanilla and whipped. Once the cream was to a perfect consistency (not too runny, not too stiff), I folded in the rhubarb. And that's it.
And on the seventh day, God created Manchester. So, with that in mind, I tucked my flares into my Afflecks Palace branded wad0rz, zipped my parka up over my Hacienda t-shirt, adjusted my curtains and headed underneath the city with our kid.
Across our land, those draining pioneers have named the sewers, culverts and drains based on their experiences, the features and the emotions that they have felt while braving the dark waters. Wonderful evocative names are discussed online and at drinks, Megatron, Dreadnaught, Flow Selector, Tangfastic, Pipemare, Masticator. Words that remind people of difficult infalls, or st00py side tunnels, forgotten mill goits or breathtaking chambers or plugholes. This one is no different. Those brave first explorers thought long in to the night after returning from here, cold and wet, and yet elated, desperately searching for a name that would encapsulate the subterranean underworld beneath the city. And then, like the switch of the torch going on, it came to them. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is Medlock Culvert.
The River Medlock rises in the north, in Oldham, and winds its way through the parks of Manchester before disappearing through tunnels and culverts before falling into the Irwell in the city. This was the second visit here, the first with cameras, and it was higher, much higher than before, the dark water swirling under our feet and echoing off the brick arches.
Adda Dada pointed out what to him was the best sign at Tuesday's St. Stupid's Day Parade: "Make Art Not Apps."

Guess I am just a fool who's willing
To sit around and wait for you
But baby can't you see
There's nothing left for me to do.

Here come I, old April fool,
Between March hare and nuts in May.
Fool me forward, fool me back,
Hares will dance and nuts will crack.
Here come I, my fingers crossed
Between the shuffle and the deal.
Fool me flush or fool me straight,
Queens are wild and queens will wait.
Here come I, my clogs worn out
Between the burden and the song.
Fool me hither, fool me hence,
Keep the sound but ditch the sense.
Here come I, my hair on fire,
Between the devil and the deep.
Fool me over, fool me down,
Sea shall dry and devil shall drown.
Here come I, in guts and brass,
Between the raven and the pit.
Fool me under, fool me flat,
Coffins land on Ararat.
Here come I, old April Fool,
Between the hoar frost and the fall.
Fool me drunk or fool me dry,
Spring comes back, and back come I.

Était en HDR, mais avait l'air artificiel. J'ai préféré faire un traitement simple et plus naturel.
Was in HDR but looked weird. I've switched back to a more natural treatment.
This is a summer dessert I've been wanting to make since last summer but had to wait for rhubarbs to be back in season. Fools are basically sweetened tart fruit mixed with cream, my favorite combination. A week ago I bought a bunch of gorgeous bright red stalks of rhubarb intending to make this very thing. As I sliced away at the stalks I remembered there were a few strawberries that were withering away in the refrigerator. They weren't so far gone as to be fuzzy so I sliced them up and added them to the rhubarb and sugar bubbling away.
This lovely mixture sat in my refrigerator chilling until this weekend, when I bought a pint of cream. In went some sugar and a few drops of vanilla extract. I beat until both arms were tired and then stirred in the lusciousness. I love British desserts.
Chopped rhubarb
Chopped strawberries
Sugar
Cook the vegetable/fruit with sugar until softened. Let cool.
Heavy cream
Sugar
Vanilla extract
Pour some chilled cream in a chilled bowl with a chilled wire whisk. Add some sugar to taste and a few drops of vanilla extract. Beat until stiff.
Fold the fruit mixture into the cream. In a glass bowl, layer the cream and the fruit mixture to resemble a parfait. Top with extra fruit. Garnish with some chopped pistachios or hazelnuts and sprigs of mint if you like.
a moment of utter shock when it said 1400 photos in Explore...then the lightbulb flashed on - it's April Fool's Day! whew!

The great pleasure of a dog is that you may make a fool of yourself with him and not only will he not scold you, but he will make a fool of himself too.
~Samuel Butler, Notebooks, 1912
This little boxer mix is the epitome of a boxer, just without the typical nose. He is so goofy and lovable. He is happiest when surrounded by a yard full of children, and is a joy to everyone he meets. I am so glad we found him at our local shelter because he has turned out to be so smart, lovable, friendly to other dogs and people, yet at home is always on guard especially around all the kids. Zeke is our little gem we found and we definitely make fools of ourselves with him.
After many, many months of having lightroom sitting on my desk, I have finally installed it and started playing around with it. It is SO different from elements but it is very fun learning and I am enjoying it. Here is some sliding LR style. I usually focus on the eye but I love the texture of his nose.
HSS everyone!

* Ship of Fools (1965): Stanley Kramer now steers the camera for real as the director in addition to being producer, and he steers a cruise liner full of a cross-section of society across the Atlantic toward 1933 Germany. Written by Abby Mann (Judgment at Nuremberg) from a novel by Katherine Anne Porter, Ship of Fools is a series of interlocked vignettes that travel the decks of the boat, showing the different levels of society, dissecting an international cast of characters. An Austrian anti-Semite philanderer (Jose Ferrer) rubs elbows with a deposed Spanish contessa (Simone Signoret), an alcoholic ex-baseball player (Lee Marvin), an idealistic but naïve painter (George Segal), a lonely middle-aged woman (Vivien Leigh), and many others. Each has their own shortcomings, usually enflamed by their shortsightedness, and putting them together, trapping them in one space for a specific period of time, only serves to call more attention to what ails them. Only two people are conscious of the humanity around them. The ship's doctor (Oskar Werner) is aware of the failings of others, and it makes him despair of his inability to exact change, causing him to pay the ultimate price. With him is the dwarf (Michael Dunn), the narrator who speaks to the audience on either side of the cruise. Being below most people's sight lines gives him a unique perspective, and the film being made in 1965 also allows Stanley Kramer to imbue the story with a sense of prescience for what is to come. The human tragedy that is only years away plays out on the ship. All the bad ideas, all of the selfishness, and all of the denial is right there for our viewing pleasure, and most of us may be disheartened to find ourselves somewhere in the population of the Ship of Fools. It may feel a little tidy or preachy today, but its truth holds strong.
