Stories about life on the homestead, spinning, knitting, gardening, caregiving and whatever else comes up.
"It is a tragedy of the first magnitude that millions have ceased to use their hands...this great gift...It is highly likely that a time will come when we shall be so incapacitated and weak that we shall begin to curse ourselves for having forgotten the use of the living machines given to us by God."
Mahatma Gandhi

Peace. It does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, or hard work. It means to be in the midst of those things and still be calm in your heart. (Unknown)
Der Himmel hat den Menschen als Gegengewicht zu den vielen Mühseligkeiten des Lebens drei Dinge gegeben, die Hoffnung, den Schlaf, und das Lachen.

tell me something. did your mom look through the cabinets for colorful foods or were fruit loops, cheetos and tomatoes just lying around?
i'm serious. i'm really curious about her motivation for this construction.
(if you ever write a book about her/ad caretaking, these pics of her art work would make great chapter starters.)
Very colorful. And I agree with cornbread; if you ever write a book, these pictures must be included.
To be honest, I don't remember. This photo was taken last year. I do have a cabinet stocked with snacks for her to rummage through(cereal, chips, marshmallows, animal crackers, etc)but the tomatoes were probably sitting on the counter after being gathered from the garden. The plate could have been in the cupboard, or sitting on the dish rack.
Part (most?) of the motivation for me to start this blog was to share these photos. I wasn't sure if others would be as fascinated as I am. I mean, some of them show such purpose and focus, not something that she really has in all other areas of her life. That fascinates me.
Does that make any sense?
it makes total sense.
as i've said before, i think your mom's art work is wonderful. and it's interesting to know the part it played in your motivation to blog.
