Late Summer Ornamentals

Dang these little red berries; they are juicy and abundant, but they don't make the belly happy.
I remember that from when I was a kid.
I haven't asked my kids if they are as silly about food experimentation as I was when I was younger...

Garden

The garden and high desert acre seem to be flourishing in this year of abundant snow and persistant rains.

Huaraches!

Just made our first pair of huraraches today, and they happen to be for the little girl who can seldom find a pair of shoes other than her mud boots... Anwyn.
So now that she has a pair of home made sandals and a new dress made by her mom, she's looking pretty darned stylish.

Since my audio isn't showing unless you go to the feedburner crazy 'feed' site, I'll spread the good news about the garden.
The corn has begun to tassel! That makes me feel pretty happy.

First Audio Attempt!

I thought I'd try out my new microphone and 'Garage Band' setup this morning between assignments. Inasmuch that I don't have much recent recording or broadcasting experience and I don't have any confidence to speak of with the program, here's a reading of Little Gidding by the Old Guy, T.S. Eliot.
This will probably be a bit large and/or messy at first, but as I figure out the settings and such I'll get it whittled down to size and efficiency.
You can always turn it down or off if it gets reeeealy annoying...
Eah. I just decided to link to the file the good, old-oldfashioned way.
