Pelicans


Saw the coolest thing the other day...flocks of pelicans, hundreds.

Soaring low along the beach and swooping down into the waves. They fly with a leader, in a V like geese, but they're sooo quiet, not a sound. All you could hear was their wings cutting the wind. They were huge. What a site. Only caught 4 here, and I didnt have the zoom on. arrrgh!

Oh,....
have added a link to some original poetry along the sidebar if anyone's interested.

    Good Morning,

    Oh yes, it's an impressive sight to see a flock of them fly by. Well, we had chaos in the coop this morning when one of the hens escaped when I opened the coop door to retrieve eggs. Chased that hen all over the back yard until I finally got her cornered and could grab her. All is well again, except I'm tired, dusty and now have no time to work on my blog as I well intended. Will try again later after everyone (including the chickens) are in bed, LOL.

    You mean Willie didn't even lift a whisker to help catch the escapee? ;-D

Pit Beads

"Art in My Garbage" is a favorite theme I deamed up.
All that "stuff" in the trash-bin surely has another life as an "art supply" - Yesterday the discovery was date pits ;-D
They scrub up well, have a nice rustic, "woody" look and make great beads when drilled with a fine dremel bit. Have also just discovered "sea beans", along with the lovely shells on the Texas beaches. The teeniest bit of baby oil shines them up nice. Avocados, apple seeds, prune pits, etc. can all be used as well. http://www.beachbeans.com/bean_descriptions.html
