Snails and other things


These past month has been very busy here in the wilds of LA.  We've had several wonderful visitors, with more to come.  Paired with our trip to the jungle, a job promotion, and getting back into design coursework, I have been swamped.  As part of a Trees class I am taking, I spent last weekend in Palm Springs and Idyllwild, and will post pictures soon (so many trees!). This past weekend we were in north Mississippi, celebrating a lovely marriage (pictures also forthcoming).  In these busy weeks, I have stumbled across several things worth sharing:

When I need to switch careers someday, I might begin farming snails.

If the world feels too big, wear it on your hand.

I'm thinking ahead to Christmas, and what I will get for all of the lovely women I know.

This planter is calling my name.

I'm also interested in this method for growing some baby lettuces, but am a little concerned about what that tarpaulin might leach into the soil.

The soft carvings by Chris Weaver, pictured above, which are tools made from New Zealand driftwood, have captured my imagination.  It might be time to bring out the carving tools I bought on a whim in college.  Found via Jen Causey's Pinterest.
