I took this picture yesterday because it was beautiful to see the food that serves to keep this body, mind and spirit going. I am thankful.

Up against the wall goes the ball tossed with little able hands that somehow ran and ran and ran away from all her troubles Up against the wall goes the ball tossed with little able hands and the ball flies back to be tossed again away goes all her troubles Up against the wall goes the ball a hundred times or more and thought seems to disappear every doubt and every fear Up against the wall goes the ball in each moment space and time runs its course and days become years away goes all her troubles #showyourwork

My cousin requested a wooden candle holder for this extremely long rectangular candle she has on her dining room table. She wanted something with extreme angles, but this is what I did for her for now. #showyourwork

I finally finished this tray for the dogs' prescription medicine. They have no idea how much this makes me happy. I am looking forward to having the tools in my arsenal to round off edges and smooth corners. I like smooth looks, but I am working with what I have and that is a good thing. It is better than not working at all. Blessings~

Candle one, Candle two, Candle three, Candle four It took more candles, more candles all on the floor Round Candles, Skinny Candles, Short Candles, Stout And every spot one was lit, the boy blew it out Could hardly imagine the time that it took to place all in the candles in crannies and nook No matter all the effort; imagine all the same How one boy found the stamina to douse every flame

I have the awesome opportunity of working with this wood to create serving trays for a wood worker in Valley Mills, Texas. When you can discover great wonders of pecan or walnut under the wear and tear of these old pallets, it is a delight to the eyes and a strain on the planner.

Huck the Duck wanted his dinner But, Huck the Duke could have been thinner He ate like a hungry furious baboon Never stopping to chew all the food he'd consume One day Huck went swimming as was his ambition When into the water he went on his mission And all of a sudden he started to sink He looked all around and started to think How in the world do I get out alive when suddenly he gave his wings a try But flap as he could he could not take flight Huck found he was too fat and he made worse his plight Out of the blue came a goose and a guinea They managed to grab poor Huck out in a jiffy When gotten to shore Huck was oh so delighted He pledged then and there to alter his diet The next time Huck went out for a swim He was lean and mean like he'd come from the gym He confessed that he ate far too much for his size and agreed to eat less and get more exercise
