Not so winter wonderland


We’ve been getting these little flurries over the past few weeks. Nothing major, but it has caused delays for school on the last two Mondays. It’s a tease, and only makes me *really* want a big snow storm, so that we can go sledding and make big pots of soup.

And also, it reminds me how fucked the environment is.

But, I prefer to think of sleds and soup :)

I check Blue Jake daily for some wick’d cool (that’s Rhode Island speak for pretty spiffy) street art and unconventional, creative portraiture. This entry’s caption is fucking brilliant: http://www.bluejake.com/archives/2007/01/07/quest_mechanical_corp.php

It was a beautiful day– it felt like late May. Almost enough to make you forget about the gigantic global warming catastrophe that is most definitely going to be fucking all of us in a few more years.

That about sums up every conversation I had this weekend.

Best thrift store purchase to date: Aaaw yeah. It’s a Scott’s classic model in impeccable condition, and came with a catch bag and a sharpening kit. Oh, and it cost us 25 bucks.

25.

Bucks.

Had we bought it new, it would have cost us over $100. I’ve been looking for a reel mower since last spring, and I am so glad that I didn’t give up, give in and buy one new. My favorite thrift store, Impact! in Lansdale, reliably came through for us once again. It’s lovely when patience pays off, yes?

It only took five of us, but we figured out how to sharpen the blades:
From left to right, that’s Jason, Mattie, Daddy-O and Bill. Mikaela is behind the camera.
