Just Facial

Sammy and I went to see Don and Chris in OSU's Wexner. It is very sweat story. Well I did read An interview with Don (Bachardy)in BUTT Magazine. He did a lot of portraits for his partner Christopher Isherwood during a long period time. It is such a nice thing to record a unchanged natural process called aging. I do not think that I have that gift to paint. But I can take pictures to see how age climbs on my face. Well I took a few pictures to start. It is only facial, sorry it is not porn. Here they are

Gardening Again!

I did a bit gardening again today. I know, I know. Yeah am I addicted?@## More like meditating, being real and surreal. Something makes life a bit pleasant. I love one creature nurturing the other one, the intricacy between nature and man making, the various forms of life. Well, I hope that one day I can make living with it and make other happy at the same time. It is still pipe dream and feel good just dreaming^^

Things Hang

Before heading home from our drafting trip, we stop in Charleston for antiquing. Well we found this Roseville piece - hanging pot. Well we finally have our very first piece of Roseville Pot. Now it hangs right in the middle of our dining table. Just beautiful. Sammy finally found a old clock he loves and it took a while to adjust and make right time.

One of the most fun parties in Athens

We went to Tom and Ken's annual Fall party in Glass House Work Nursery. Ken once told us that when his client asked where you are located, he told "we are between GUYsvile and COOLsvile.". I wonder if the client got it. I just love their nursery. Talk about invasive plants. Yeah half of Stewart town is invaded. Just charm, crazy and messy all in one. It is hippie party in town and we are glad to be included. My mom made this Chinese Scallion pan cake. And I made Date "rape"(wrap date with bacon and bake). They did not last long at all. Here they are

Feel Zen

Ilk rampantly touched down in Ohio when we drove back from WV after our fun white water rafting trip. The first thing I spot was broken bonsai pot Sammy's mom and BC gave to us. I am still saddened. Well we still have all the mini figures, temple, gate which are used for my Mini Japanese garden. I hope that helps me get over with my pain.

By Accident

Not Much To Show For Three day's Work

I have been working on and off in the garden for this long weekend. Most, rearrange since the backyard is still a mess. It has been a torture to mow the small backyard since a lot of stuff are spread on the grass. Especially the tree trunk lies right in the middle of the yard. This trunk will be used for the backyard deck project. I tried to make a bit presentable among the mess. Just do not see much progress. But does look a bit better. Well here is my arrangement for that trunk and rest

Our Front Yard in Making

I am not sure how much better it is this year. Certainly feel a bit better and only hope that monkey grass can grow a bit fast to cover the ground. A couple of weeks ago, Susan came and knocked our door. She and her husband gave us all the bamboo for us to build the fence. We did not even know them then. Well she asked me to have our garden in the Athens garden tour. I just do not know it will be ready when you see our jungle backyard. It will benefit animal rescue and adoption. The following is how much it is here to show in our front yard so far
