Kintsugi

Today, listener will take a workshop in Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken clay or porcelain with gold.  Doubtful gold will be used, but at last the cat on the right will have her broken back fixed!


BTW, 80 days until Election Day

🥳 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, W.A.! We hope you're enjoying Scotland! 🎂

 

Experience Matters

 

It's Monarch Season! 🐛

We have seen exactly ONE Monarch Butterfly all season. 

Then we found three caterpillars on our Milkweed. 

All three have now made their chrysalises
and will hatch out in the next 10 days. 

We usually have more than 20 hatch out...!

Get ready, Dude. You're outta here.

 

Choices LOL

 

It’s Walz! 🇺🇸

                                                                                                 

 

Seriously...

 

Partying on the Boat

Hoping to take family members sailing! ⛵️

 

💛💛 50th Party Day! 💛💛

Today, listener and Wil will be gathering with the whole family at this restaurant, across from the Bay where they sail, in celebration of their 50th Anniversary.  It's when everyone could get together. 
They'll have the restaurant to themselves (outside and inside) for 4 hours!  Hoping for an all-Family Photo!
