“I think that the best thing we can do for our children is to allow them to do things for themselves, allow them to be strong, allow them to experience life on their own terms, allow them to take the subway... let them be better people, let them believe more in themselves.”
― C. JoyBell C.
I worked at the farm yesterday. It was so cold, I need gloves to unload the plants, but it was good to be in the greenhouse. I am expanding my garden this year and have big ideas about what I can grow. I have always loved the idea of a self sustaining life. Short of that I will grow my produce :-) I am doing a lot from seed, but I bought tomato plants. This weekend, when it is 85 as compared to yesterdays 55, I will plant. i look forward to really working WITH my little plot of land this summer. The ponies, not mine, but why not.
Yesterdays daily photo. Maybe today I can shoot and upload?

the bow, arrow, knife, and cap are all traditional Tayal (Taiwan aborigine) work.
The bow is spiya wood; I don't know the Chinese or English name of the tree.
The klisu (barbed arrow) is 箭竹/arrow bamboo (a type of straight, slender bamboo), with a barbed point. The knife, or laraw, was originally used for everything from clearing brush to headhunting. It's a great tool for the jungle, even for those fussy souls like myself who do not hunt heads (it's illegal now).
The cap is rattan.

let it be.'
this necklace is meant to exude a peaceful presence of mind... sterling, copper and vintaj brass wire... vintaj disc has been hammered and cupped to hold a copper disc stamped with a lotus flower... lapis hangs from it to symbolize the revealing of inner truth and encouragement of self-awareness... beautiful glass bead by marie at bleu verre...
a wonderful morning spent punching, stamping, dappling, hammering, wrapping, antiquing and just a bit of torching!
During our visit to Lincoln Castle, Livingstone insisted on seeing the Victorian Goal there
Opened in 1848 the goal was initially operated under the ‘Pentonville’ system where inmates where kept in isolation. The scheme was dropped after just 18 months when prisoners showed signs of madness from the solitude. We didn't want Livingstone to go mad so we enticed him out with promises of tuna.
A big thank you to Carmen for wishing Kaiser a happy birthday. He is four on Monday. Co-incidentally it is Phill's birthday on Monday as well, though he won't let me say how old he is.
Happy Furry Friday everyone!
Wishing everyone a sunny and happy weekend.
