My Place

My Place

Hi guys,

I just wanted to have a thread where I could talk about things that make me happy without bothering anyone else.

So on Sunday a week ago I planted some seeds into a metal tub. Some veggie seeds. Carrots, garlic chives and although it’s not the season for it I threw in some cucumber seeds.

Well yesterday, only a week after planting I noticed my first little green shoot. Then today, there are a bunch of green shoots. Funnily enough I think it’s the cucumbers that have come up first. I may have to make a cloche to help them grow in the cooler weather. The tub is sitting on a concrete path so hopefully that will help keep the soil a bit warmer. I moved them a bit more into the sunshine today as we noticed that the carport was casting shade on them quite early in the afternoon.

I am so happy to see their green little faces pushing up from under that dark earth. Gives me hope in all things. I love to watch things grow. It makes me happy to think that I have played a part in that.

Every day I water them and have a chat with them. How are you today my seeds? I hope that you will grow soon! Now I can encourage them to grow bigger and stronger.

I can’t wait to set up my other veggie garden and grow more things. I am especially looking forward to planting my tomatoes come spring.

Hey @tonys ,

Thanks for making the effort to go through the who process again to ensure the anonymity of your model is maintained.

We recognise this was a lot of work on your behalf - and your model's behalf!

Re: My Place

Thanks @tyme My fault.. She come's n goes and I just keep forgetting to ask her to send. You know me by now. If I can't turn something into a Broadway stage show . . . well I'm just not having fun.

She had it done in less than a minute, no trip to hell involved... I was overdramatizing.

Tec is something I just have to put a whole lot more effort into. Hope the day is being kind to you.

tonys..

@tonys 🙌🏼 The size of that window Huckleberry. HUGE

Is that a glass desk? Nice timber return shelf a long the window sill.

I like the slats on the top self. Nicely spaced.
Metal shower curtain rod or towel rails are good for hanging clothes under a shelf.

Love your work Huck.

@tonys first thought homemade breastmilk extractor. Or the torture device from the Princess Bride.

It’s not pretty but Huck you are an underfunded genius.

I tip my hat to you sir.

Thankyou @Glisten yes its a 12mm hunk of toughened glass. The part I couldn't show, has a ton of clothes already hanging. The book keeper decided to have half of it as an office. Sheds coming along

but rain our 'Water Loo'. and its poring as I write. How is the turning coming along It must be so

satisfying watching creation unfold in your hands, the bequest of your mind. Well I know for sure its Easter, because the unreliable NBN is made all the more frustrating under the strain of holiday

on line gamers. I just got a post from you show up that was 3 weeks old. Wonder how that happens.

Well my friend. Have a splendid Easter break.. tonys.

Gorgeous pic of your home and BK @tonys

Great balcony/verandah

@Glisten watched some of the woodwork.

Friend took pic of sculpture with chainsaws this week. Amazing what people can do. I love art. Am utterly terrible at it. Been doing a little art therpay on zoom... and the main thing I can see is how uber cautious I am... and how much negative space. Its as if I frightened to leave a mark. Just as well I am less cautious with typing! Posting on forum has kept me alive. Thanks folks

@Appleblossom What @tonys said.

creativity starts with mess, because life is messy.
As an Undergraduate I surveyed 2000 year old tombs. The text chiseled into the stone would go around the corner because the person didn’t have the skills to measure the letters. Now that mistake is there for eternity and that is wonderful.

The empty vault in the Great Pyramid - no mystery. The trajectory is out of alignment so they built another one below it.

Mistakes make as human we are wonderfully and beautifully flawed.

This is Jackson Pollock. What do you see?

Re: My Place

Very... very, well said @Glisten Jackson Pollack.. The reactor at Sane would go 'critical' if I really opened up the throttle on that painting. But more than that, I liked the message and observations in your letter. I have so very little time to post and read these days that if I do get one in, well. I have to leave a piece of me with it. I just put your piece of vibrant colour into my swag.. Letters . . .

I guess when I eat a steak. I Don't like it raw, But, It has to be, Raw. As I chew, I need to feel what the beast feels as he trembles through

the valley of stainless steel, and into the dispassionate eye of the macerater..

Will we ever know what Pollack thinks.. anyone thinks.. I want to see the paintings we hang on the

inside of us, away from the light. Thats the steak that feeds my beast .

You probly guessed I'm writing again and am on a deadline Glisten.. You just handed me treasure.

thankyou .. my friend. Huck.. tns..

Think @Former-Member would want in on your letter too, if thats ok Glisten. Bye mate..
