This is a carrot from Tom's garden. He says it looks like a horse, his friends say it looks like a pig, I say it looks like a hippo. Could this be the mythical "Rorschach Carrot?"

Best time of my life, Raising Daisy
I was looking back at my blogs, and I see that come November, I will have been blogging a year. I was re-reading some of my first posts, and I realize I have not been as reflective about my experiences, or else, I have been too lazy to write! Well…maybe I have not been reflecting, and I don’t like that.
Daisy in Leavenworth and snow when she was a little girl!
I love taking the time to reflect in life, about what is good, about what I sense, and feel, about color, light, rain drops and drizzle, and especially..fog!
Some of the very best times of my life were times when I wrote every single morning about 3Am, moon streaming into my window, there where I slept with my little Daisy. I would creep out of that tiny single bed she and I shared when she was 9, 10 and so on, and steal to the bistro by the window where the light flooded in from the moon. I could see the water lit up by the moon on the Sound a way from our house.
I lit candles and wrote in my journals, until I was sleepy and I would go back to bed and cuddle up beside her in the early morning hours until the alarm went off and we had to get up for school and work.
Daisy and Snow Kitty
I would get her ready for the bus, and once she was on the bus, I went running hills, came back, showered, and went to work. Got off work as soon as I could and picked her up from the Boys and Girls club program at school.
I think those days were the very very best of my life. After work and school I would get my hot water bottle and lie down for awhile, and she played Nintendo. I remember that many time asi was sick and she brought my hot water bottle to comfort me. I love her so much! I still get sentimental when I hear Mario playing. Then I would get up and make dinner, and we’d eat together, and spend the evening going to the store looking around, or just watchin tv. Weekends we’d go to Whidbey Island and run the logs together, or go to Snohomish to skate, and we’d pull each other on the trail.
Daisy now....
I miss her so much! She was my best friend for so many years, and now she is grown and gone and I wish I could go back. I think of all my life, I would stay in that time if I had to choose, even though in many ways it was a painful time for me, being with her was a treasure I can’t get over.
Of course, I was always so concerned for her safety, and I had to take extra care for her, and I was extremely attached and involved, beyond the normal parent /child relationship. Daisy is my Granddaughter that I raised. My family had died of origin by the time I was 32, so I had no help. It was lonely and yet so very full a the same time. I can’t explain it, how it was, I just miss that time, and I want my little girl back, I want her back so much!

Board heads in The Gorge
Just returned from a few days in Hood River Oregon. I sat beside one of the beaches and watched the sail boarders sail for a long while, It was so refreshing and beautiful to watch them, I wanted to do it myself.

Read these 3 important quotes I found on Claire's blog! Claire Krulikowski
Claire Krulikowski
This is the first of the three she has blogged...read on:
How To Lead The People:
"...of course the people don't want war.... But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship ...the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country"
Hermann Goering, Nazi

Small kindness.org; Cat Stevens Now, for fans interested, tagged, pass it on
I found this link for Cat Stevens ( Yusuf Islam), a great man, then and now. Check out his contributions to the world of children.
I have always admired Cat Stevens, and wished he knew me, because I always feel I know him. He has been a friend since the 70's when I listened to him lying on the floor in my home with a headset on, and when I found a new love some years ago, we sang his songs together, and still do.
I was always sad thinking he would not make more music, but , of course, he has made music.
I think he is my brother! Someday, we will meet!
Click below his photo...hear music and see what he does now.
Cat stevens now
Rome - Singer, songwriter and peace activist Yusuf Islam, formerly known as Cat Stevens, will receive a Man Of Peace award in Rome on Wednesday, two months after being refused entry to the United States on security grounds.
Yusuf Islam, 57, will receive the prize from the Gorbachev Foundation at the opening of the 5th World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates at Rome's city hall.
The award is given annually "to a distinguished personage of culture and entertainment for peace messages, fraternity and integration between nations".
The Foundation said Islam was being recognised for his charity Small Kindness, which was set up "to alleviate the suffering of thousands of children and their parents in countries of war and agony like Kosovo, Bosnia, Albania, Montenegro and Iraq".
Previous winners included Italian actor and film-maker Roberto Begnini for his film Life Is Beautiful.
Islam was deported from the United States last September after being denied entry on "security grounds" and was released without charge. He was travelling to the US capital when his flight was diverted to Bangor, Maine, where he was detained before being transferred later to Washington for his flight back to his Britain.
Islam, who visited the United States earlier this year without incident, is best known for such mellow 1970s hits as Morning Has Broken, Wild World and Peace Train.
He converted to the Muslim faith in 1977.
Remember to find his song Indian Ocean, ( search for it, and you will find download choices including itunes) a song written and performed to aid tsunami vistims. It is a beautiful song over 6 minutes long and is beautifully Cat Stevens! Please circulate this information, to help children world wide. If you read this, you are taged, you must blog it and send emails to friends. Cat Stevens ( Yusuf) is our friend, he has always been unconditionally loving and caring in his music, which influenced a generation of people, and is still influencing the younger generation with his concern for finding truth, and helping others.
Please let meknow how far reaching your work to help right the injustice by the US against a peace loving musician, and devoted man of God who has always searched for a way to know truth and to help others and this world!.
Buy his music! It aids children!

Children of the new earth site
A friend sent a link to this site. I found myself thinking of my Princessa who just left to go back to MO. Her bright spirit, and curious imaginative personality, and the stress that goes along with that giftedness. Here on this site are some references of many of the things children are experiences, along with a clear insight as to how that can be handled. Children of the new earth site

Kim SOMETHING TO SAY tagged me with the MEME, The cook next door so I invite you to answer these questions if you read this and go to the cook next door!
I am tagging this food blog I found a while back

What is your first memory of baking/cooking on your own?
Truth be told, I was about 4. We had two kitchens in the house where I lived in PA. I lived with my Mother, Aunt and Grandparents and brother, and all my relatives lived with a few block radius. My cousin Karen was over to play, and she and I concocted dressing, I guess. I must have seen it being prepared in by Grandma. We mixed bread crumbs, with eggs, milk and lots of garlic powder, and baked it in the oven. It smelled to high heaven, most horrible smell I ever met, and Karen still remembers it, too! Some smells never go away!
Who had the most influence on your cooking?
That would be difficult to say one person, It was grandma who introduced me to all kinds of foods, and baked a lot. She never force fed, and had a technique that really worked to get us to try foods without any forcing. We could always eat bread and jelly rather than our meal, couldn’t complain about food, and were given a spot of everything to eat, and if we ate it all, we could have more of what we loved (Mac & cheese, homemade of course). As a result I learned to try everything. We had a farm in West VA, and I ate everything the people in the hills there ate, including boiled chicken feet and hogs head porridge (on pancakes, yum!)
My stepfather was a great cook, and I learned a lot from him and then there was Billye Currid my friend from Mitsubishi when I did aircraft interiors. She was a great baker.
Last of all, The Gourmet cook book taught me the most. I planned meals and bought al I needed for those meals, I learned about seasonings that way. I always had everything I needed to make up whatever I wanted to make, and not a lot of stuff sitting around in cupboards. I followed their instructions to make elegant aftermaths instead of leftovers.
Do you have an old photo as “evidence” of an early exposure to the culinary world and would you like to share it?
Well I don’t have that photo, and I am glad I don’t. The one I am thinking of, I was a young wife, and I made a Boston cream Pie, I doubled the recipe, and made a mess. My husband photographed me holding the spatula above a crumbling cake and titled it, “Winner of the VA, Beach baking contest”
Mageiricophobia - do you suffer from any cooking phobia, a dish that makes your palms sweat?
That would be cutting up liver, I just can’t eat liver I cook!
What would be your most valued or used kitchen gadgets and/or what was the biggest letdown?
My kitchen Aid with all it’s attachments (wheat grinder) is best… And Cuisinart. And I agree with Dianne about the bread machine as a let down.
Name some funny or weird food combinations/dishes you really like - and probably no one else!
Hogs head porridge on pancakes!
What are the three eatables or dishes you simply don’t want to live without?
Good bread, good bread and good bread!
