I was wondering why the temperatures did not drop to below -20oC after the weekend snow storm and today I got my answer. The snow was just not done with us, that's all.. We got at least another 10cm, to add to the 20 we got over the weekend and I'm really hoping that's it for a while. The roads are horrible (it's like rally driving with ones car dancing on the road with the slightest touch of the gas pedal..). I'm very glad I have to drive only a very short distances.. But, enough of me complaining about snow, when we can look into my stores of colorful pictures and enjoy a little bit of gorgeous spring, full of blooming beauties. Happy Tuesday guys!! :D

Between the last chills and the first warmth, the asphodel rises like a spear of life.
Delicate flowers born from the harshness of the land—white, shy, resilient.
A quiet promise of spring, returning each year in the silence of the countryside.
Temple of Promise
Dreamers Guild
A Temple’s purpose is to provide a safe space where the diverse and essential needs of the soul can take root and grow or surrender and find solace. This year, the Temple of Promise welcomes participants through an archway soaring 97 feet overhead. Once inside, the structure curves in on itself, tapering in width and height down to just 7 feet tall. Along the way, alcoves formed by the supporting arches, as well as wooden sculptures reminiscent of stones in a stream, create altars and semi-private spaces for individuals and smaller gatherings. The lines of the curved wooden walls draw the eye inward and create a canvas for written messages and mementos. As the path continues to curve, it opens into the contemplative altar and the heart of the Temple: a grove of three sculpted trees. The branches are initially bare. Participants will write messages on long strips of cloth and attach them to the trees, creating the gentle shade of Weeping Willows, increasing as the week progresses.
“The Promised Land” As Seen By Moses This is the view of the Promised Land from the top of Mount Nebo which is in ,what is now, the country of Jordan. After a long […]
It is fun to compete with the critters in the area to see who will get the ripened figs, the animals or me...LOL! I call it the Fig Bowl, the animals seem to be winning the yearly contest, but in many ways I do not mind loosing. The figs are really good though!
LI 6015 flies west past one of the most scenic locations on Long Island, the wide open straightaway at Napeague. Due to a lack of fertile soil in the area, farms never developed here, and the area became home to numerous fish oil factories, earning the nickname Promised Land. Today, all that remains are some buried spurs that used to serve these factories, and the uninhibited view of the LI main. Here, engine 415 is taking 8 cars full of East End travelers back to Jamaica and points west, about to begin preparing for the stop at Amagansett to take on more passengers.
The Promised Womb by Dead Can Dance - www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uZj0Ul_pPM. Please have a listen if you have time; sad and very beautiful. If you like that song try this - www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpMNXEY_tio. As evocative as Bach cantatas? (A personal favourite - www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFDtRn396WY)
The mountain is high, the valley is low

So I've come here to give you a hand
And lead you into the promised land
This was the toughest episode of YDIL that I have pulled together! It took weeks to complete! This is the finale for season 3 and I though it would be nice to include these wedding photos!
I made this for my sister for Christmas! This is one of her favorite songs! It's Promises by Maverick City Music. The thing in the background was supposed t be a sun, I got carried away tho, XD
From at least 10 years ago
I made a promise to someone here on Flickr (and you know who you are!) that I would wear this net-veiled chapeau again. I don't know when; after all, it isn't exactly daywear. But rest assured I still have it, and I have not forgotten.
History of the World Kite Museum, Long Beach, Washington
The World Kite Museum and Hall of Fame has its roots in the local community. In the mid 1980’s a group of kite enthusiasts began to discuss the idea of forming a museum dedicated to kites and kite flyers.
The group met informally and developed a plan of action. They researched building opportunities, nonprofit status requirements, storage facilities, and other basic details that were needed to establish a museum. The group was eager to create a place where people could go to learn about kite history and see kiting displays.
Several auspicious things happened during this period of development: 1989 was the Washington State’s 100th birthday and with this celebration came an initiative focused on developing museums and history preserving organizations.
There were many workshops offered by the state to encourage upgrading and fostering museums. Our developing museum board picked areas that interested them and attended. We learned about how to run a gift shop, accession artifacts, write a mission statement, goals, and objectives, recommended storage techniques, 501 c 3 status – all these topics of importance to an new museum organization.
Also in 1989 the David Checkley’s widow donated his collection of 700 Japanese, Chinese and Malaysian kites to the World Kite Museum. The 300 Japanese kites in the collection are considered the most complete collection of Japanese kites outside of Japan.
Our first exhibit, “The History of Kites in Washington State”, was a week long affair in the Long Beach City Council rooms during the 1989 Washington State International Kite Festival. This same year a famous Japanese kite maker Eiji Ohashi also brought kite-making materials to Long Beach. With the help of World Kite Museum volunteers every child at Long Beach Elementary made a flyable Japanese kite. The Museum had begun with an exhibit, a unique kite display on the beach, and a school kite making class.
Due to the success of these exhibits and activities the museum believed a freestanding building was necessary to house the collection. Jim Buesing went to the City of Long Beach with a proposal for the use of the Coulter home in the southwest corner of the one half block of beach cottage vacation rental property the city had acquired. Through the assistance of the City of Long Beach this building became the Museum home from 1990-2004.
By August 1990, led by Buesing, the inside of the home plus the two rental rooms attached became a four-room exhibit space. The kitchen morphed into an admission desk and gift shop. The bathroom, tub and sink removed were computer room and print, picture, video and book storage. The laundry room stored kites not on exhibit. One of the exhibit rooms was designated as the Long Beach room. It was a nostalgic place for festival participants. Admission included the ability to make a kite to fly, from materials provided by the museum, a tradition which the current museum still promises.
During the 14 years the World Kite Museum was in this location the museum grew their community partnerships – using the Long Beach Elementary gymnasium for adult workshops and bringing cultural experiences to their students. We also worked closely with Long Beach Peninsula Merchant Associations, providing programs for local clubs and libraries. We developed in house programs and activities like membership drives, quarterly newsletters, demonstrations, and traveling exhibits. Little did we know that running into each other in our crowded building cause us to make so many new and wonderful friends.
As the museum grew we began to search for a larger space to accommodate the needs of the collection and the visitors. A 10,360 square foot, two-story building was available on Sid Snyder Drive in late 2004. By November 2005, the Board of Directors was able to purchase this building that provides over 6,000 square feet of exhibit space, room for storing research artifacts, both photos and printed ephemera, plus workshop and office space. The current World Kite Museum collection now houses over 1500 kites from 26 countries around the world. The American Kite Association combined their archives with ours in the late 1990’s. These materials coupled with our active oral history program makes the World Kite Museum resource for research on kites around the world. Textbook companies and freelance writers have utilized our ephemera to create articles and books about the history of kiting. The History of the World Kite Museum and Hall of Fame now proceeds with educating and entertaining visitors, protecting and increasing our collections plus researching and discovering more about kites past and present.
Missed this sugar piece?
Well I did. Today was a strange day, but still I felt like redressing Cookie and I gave her this cute shirt I bought a long time ago.
- - -
Also I was thinking about renaming her; Hope maybe?
I think it fits her more than Cookie.
Haven't you ever needed to hear those five words?
In the midst of something that just makes you feel like you want it all to end.
When you feel you can't go on.
You just gotta remember; it's going to be okay.
I promise you it is.
This life is something bigger we don't realize.
Just tell yourself.
"I'm going to be okay."
And in time, you'll find out that it really does get better.
Love you guys.
Hope you all are well!
