New video to watch

I posted the second video, I show off my indoor plant collection, which is something I would have never have thought about sharing even though I have posted a lot about my outdoor farming and gardening.  I show my 20 year old plumeria tree which I take out in the summer and some of my other favorite plants.  So take a watch, I hope you like it!

It’s supposed to snow tonight so if it does I’ll shoot that and if it snows enough I’ll have to take some pics too!

Video blog up and running

Well I didn’t quite get it done in a day, but close.  I just posted my first entry in my video blog.  You can watch it below.

I hope you like it, I realized that I either forgot or didn’t do about a dozen things while I was editing it, but I’ve never been one that lets perfection stand in the way of progress.  I’ll get better at this and from some of the garbage videos I’ve watched out there I think this isn’t terrible!  Hope you like it and keep checking back for more.  I plan on posting a new video as often as once a day.  I probably should set a more reasonable goal, but I’m going to aim high and try to really kick this off with a big push.

Video Blog

So I'm stuck at home during this corona virus insanity.  It's been OK so far, but my daughter is getting on my nerves a bit.  I want some time to be alone and to be able to think, but it's not been happening.  One thought I had this morning was to start doing a daily video for the blog.  I want to be able to make a short video that focuses on something other than all the BS that the news and many others are feeding us.  It all started a week or so ago when a friend of mine asked me to help him make a video about corona virus masks.  It was fun to do and really surprisingly easy.  It's a good video, but not great.  I'll share it here to show you since making a shield to protect yourself when you are out and about is probably not a bad thing to share and he would like it if he knew that more people might be able to see it.

I'm going to think about this a bit and hopefully start putting up daily videos that help me remember to do good things like enjoy the beauty of the world.  Things I have been doing, but maybe could be doing better.  I'll still keep writing, but this might help push me in the right direction and help me share the peace that I have with the world.

Finished Christmas presents

So I was finally able to finish my chainsaw art, here is the bear.  His eyes may look a little wonky but that’s because I used some polished Lake Superior agates that were found at my father in laws house. His head didn’t turn out quite the way I wanted, but it was better than the first one I made years ago. I haven’t finished the signs he will hold.  One is going to say “welcome” and the other will say “go away”.

The next one is the first eagle I made.  I think it’s pretty good, but compared to what I wanted to make.  At least compared to the second one.  The problem with the second was that the log was smaller so I had less room for the body.  Next I want to make one with its wings stretched out, it would be flying sideways, so all the feathers are stretched out.  Probably a few levels beyond my skill, but it would be fun to try.
