My grandson Jos, (Joseph) helped me find acorns recently when the two of us went to Springwater Conservation Area. I had a plan for some shots that has finally come to fruition. But, one of my Flickr contacts always beats me to the punch. lol I guess the early bird gets the photo, eh, Beth? lol Well, in my defence, I was voted President of the Procrastinators of Canada, after all. Ok, not quite true, we keep putting that vote off till the next meeting, but, if we ever do vote, I'm sure I'll be the President.
Anyhow, I thought it would be "cute" to picture a bunch of acorns aspiring to grow up, not to be "Mighty Oaks", but, really big acorns.
Famers are busy now (When aren't they?) and this field stood out this morning. I had to return to see if I could do it justice.

Amidst, company, family, my son's family trying to buy their first house, yada, yada, yada, I took some more back yard photos today. After shooting a whole buncha black eyed Susans, I decided to throw this cone flower in the middle of the mix. I put the vase on an old, weathered bistro table, that has been on our front porch, back porch, picanics, and the new deck. Now, the table is in the back yard, off the deck. I stood on the steps of our new deck, and shot straight down on this bicolour buffet.I think the echinacea flower should have been a bit smaller. lol It's like the elephant in the floral room.
A beautiful house, A beautiful museum, A beautiful location, A beautiful tradition, A beautiful memory, A beautiful visit. Highly recommended, when in Bangkok.

A little country song, for your Sunday afternoon smile.
Chocolate Smiles, And Peanut Butter Laughter
I love chocolate peanut butter
Maybe even more than my mother
I tell you this without an ounce of guile
Chocolate peanut butter makes me smile
Chocolate peanut butter makes me smile
It was just the other day I was moping sad
It might a been the worst day I ever had
I was feeling all alone and forgotten in a funk
My friends were disappearing like they smelt a dead skunk
When a thought came to me in the grocery store
So I sat on down right where I was to wait for more
Minding my own business, mumbling to myself
I leaned on back, ‘gainst the nearest shelf
Oh, I love chocolate peanut butter
Maybe even more than my mother
I tell you this without an ounce of guile
Chocolate peanut butter makes me smile
Chocolate peanut butter makes me smile
It happened then when I looked up
That I seen that temptatious Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup
My troubles blowed away like dandruff in a storm
And my heart swelled up with a brand new aplomb
You see, somehow I’d landed right in the candy aisle
So I reached on up for that magneticious chocolate smile
I didn’t have a penny so I grabbed the cups and ran
Out the door with that chocolate smile firmly in my hand
Oh, Oh, Oh,I love chocolate peanut butter
Maybe even more than my mother
I tell you this without an ounce of guile
Chocolate peanut butter makes me smile
Chocolate peanut butter makes me smile
I started running down the street, I didn’t stop
When I was confronted by a chocolate cop
I flew right by him, as he flashed his badge
Chocolate peanut butter was my energy beverage
When I smiled at him, he knew I was the chocolate thief
There was chocolate peanut butter all over my teeth
Now here’s a little lesson you can consider worthwhile
If you’re stealing chocolate peanut butter, ‘member not to smile.
Yeah, ya know, I love chocolate peanut butter
Maybe even more than my mother
I tell you this without an ounce of guile
Chocolate peanut butter makes me smile
Chocolate peanut butter makes me smile

Same shot, finished two more ways, including cropping. I like them both, and, I don't like either. I know, I know, those two ideas would seem mutually exclusive. Do you see why I have such a hard time trying to figure out who, or what I am? So many contradictions in one head. I don't get it. Anyhow, that's the last of this particular shot. More to come for Christmas of 2017.

Ok, not sure if it's 'are' or 'am'. Any grammarians out there? 😜😜 By the way, the green book is titled "Record of Pennsylvania Volunteers in the Spanish-American War, 1898", printed in 1901. Apparently, at some point, it belonged to my great-aunt Dorothy, my grandfather Herb's older sister. Don't know why she would own it. It doesn't seem to have any of our ancestors listed.
I picked this old tool box up in a local antique shop. Not sure if the holes drilled into the visible piece were for screwdrivers, or not, but, that's how I'm using them. The gloves are a soft, tanned cowhide that I just love, as much for their great leather smell, as for anything. They are unlined, and unbelievably warm. They give great grip, and were a good buy from the local TSC store. When I was in high school, in Northern British Columbia, I had a pair of beautifully tanned moose hide gloves, with some beadwork on the back. They were from a Carrier Indian lady that my parents worked with, named Granny Joseph. She was well know for her craftsmanship. Those gloves were also unlined, and freakishly warm, and figure in one of my B.C. adventures, that included frostbite in my fingertips. Not because the gloves were cold. They were, as was I, way too warm, and sweat filled the gloves on our backwoods winter trek, and the gloves actually froze. lol I may tell the whole story some time. Sheesh, the stupid things we do when we are young. Oh, not sure if I've mentioned it, but, I started back to work last week. It will be 6 months, on the 25th on January, since my achilles surgery. It still hurts, but, I can manage. Swelling is still a problem, also, but, I'm hoping for a major change in the next couple weeks-for the better. Just in case you were interested.
Here's Japanese Soul Food, Onigiri and Umeboshi (pickled Ume).
About 12 years ago, my grandmother passed away.
After the funeral, my uncle (my mother's younger brother) who lived with her planted Ume (Japanese apricot ) tree in the garden. My grandmother lived the house almost all her life.
The years passed, the Ume tree grew up and the beautiful ume blossoms come out every year. After the blooming, my uncle harvests the fruit of Ume and my aunt (my uncle's wife) brings them to her mother and her mother makes Umeboshi (pickled ume)
with politeness .
This summer I visited my uncle and he gave a part of new Umeboshi to me.
They are very small but very good size for putting into Onigiri.
We enjoy eating Onigiri with Umeboshi, with thinking about my grandma.
Every morning, I check the condition of the Cosmos flowers and divide each of them into the best vases/pots.
I hope them to keep their lives as long as possible!
