Cold, overcast Sunday, perfect opportunity to break in some new wood turning tools that arrived a few days back.

Not the Red Cedar, but an unid wood blank I had laying about for some time... i first rounded the square a bit on my band saw, sanded a few corners for roundness, and fired up the lathe.

Shaping a nice curve on the bottom of the bowl
Love seeing the work in progress.

My tortoise partner sells different things he either pick or buys and dehydrates - mulberry leaves, cactus, hibiscus petals, clover, etc. (He sells that stuff at kapidolo farms on FB), and he told me he always takes a sample bite before he packages it up for the tortoises. There are a few things he says he will actually add to his salad meals for himself. Since I'm not much of a greenery eater, I'll leave the sampling to him.

Good morning All’s.... I did sleep in but I’m not off for the holiday, just procrastinating [emoji4] I let daughter go out to a bonfire last night ( really hard for me) so of course I stayed up and waited for her to get home... I had stated home by 10 pm and she was 10 min early.... still, that’s late hours for me:-( our weather forecast is 50’s and below all week with lots of rain.... should move out Friday which is when I’ll start planting grass... hope everyone has a wonderful day,
At least your daughter was early and not late.

It’s hard! I track my son with my phone so it does give me peace of mind.

He’s not driving yet, so that would be a whole other ball game!!

I track too:) it’s gives me a good feeling when she has told me that she is going somewhere and then I look and that is exactly where she is..( yes, I’m a suspicious mom even though she has given me no reason to be)

Here’s my scary driving video through the Mtn!
I had anxiety because our rig and trailer is a combined
61 feet long and it was our first time towing the trailer. I usually tow it with our truck and follow the RV.
We did it!!!

Thank you for stopping by, Bea! It’s hard to find comforting words, which is why I didn’t say anything right away... We love Jacques, and it’s so hard that she’s not well... A big electronic hug [emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️
Thank you so much, Lena! :<3:
