A nother Day

Well I did a fair amount of teaching today.  It was quite satisfying because I see a real interest in the course work from the students.

Made me think.

Really good students don't need us, but they sure could use us.  Us being mentors.
We can give them historic wisdom's from time to time; from out lives, show them a thing or two.  And we can hope that they can use and pass on the stories.

But what I appreciate most are the questions they bring forward that I have no answers for.
It is a nice symbiotic relationship.
 

We had beef and noodles and salad.

Rebecca is cuddled with Maura co reading a book for a book report.

Maddie's 'potica', a massive walnut rolled bread,  is baked and in the freezer ready to be portioned and served,  as a class project.

Little Bear is having a bit more of a problem getting around.

Put the first Video on line and ground hog day

Storm came in and Snow Day for all of us, about one foot of snow. That is two this season.

Yesterday I, with the huge help of Alsyia, posted the firs wood shop blog that was about loading Yumi crates.

How to Unload this Crate (Disco Barriers by Yumi Roth)

This video is more a test than anything to confirm work flow ideas.  I have been wanting to do this for quite some time now, and I just need to see feasibility.  I am starting to realize the impact of this project on the wood shop area.

I will now work on more polished productions but I alos think it is important that I continue to make these more gestural videos when appropriate.

What matters to me is that they always have quality, above what I generally see on You Tube.

I am also finding the photoshop class nicely challenging. I need to do home work.  I am truly reinvestigation my first vocation of photography with the course works and now video.

The onion seeds are germinated for a 2 weeks and going out to the coup till planting. I have a few blank cells that I will put new seed in as well as start some flowering  annuals.

I am cooking a turkey. And grateful for my family
