Found Art Friday 235

Dear ones,
Thankfully, there are so many wonderful people in this world. This blog is about finding small moments that lift us out of our continuum where an aesthetic or gutteral splash or dash here and there connects with our own thought entanglements. Here at the Department of Homeland Inspiration, we are certainly glad there is a category called Vegetable Art:

at The Sandwich County Fair (New Hampshire) where our dear former college roommate serves as a Vegetable Judge. She gets to put ribbons on squashes and also to stroll around and look at pigs sleeping snout-to-snout.

Yes we tend to play with our food

Not okay, here we are again, (one?) nation under gun, leaking out dire facts about ourselves. On our recent drive through Vegas, we were actually digging the wallpaper, slightly off-center polka dots and the specially spray-painted matching golden ice bucket. We were developing a soft spot for it.

Gold dots that slightly miss

Along with the distressing revolving tragedies, it's been bothering us that the Secretary of State responsible for moderating the possibility of Nuclear War with North Korea says they are "probing"- that's what he calls his attempt at diplomacy? Perfectly logical for someone who does drilling for for a living ....

Calm down now and breathe ....

A hint of green to be cultivated, a poignant chuckle. The tree man told us that the heavy acorns this year indicate we may have a wet winter; the trees wouldn't bother if they didn't already know what was coming to soften the soil for germination.

Yep, we took note, we wanted to say Thank You for your slant

We will leave you with this - Why? Because it makes us glad for humans who continue to innovate. How someone had the light bulb spark to realize that if you tilt the roll a bit, gravity and spin will not send the TP wastefully cascading to the floor as it does and has for decades.

If some image comes to take you away from whatever was your day, please send to FAF@Homeland Inspiration.org. Sometimes they await friends in the inbox to tell their story. Sometimes they are lost in the blur of existence, but we intend to improve our folderizing. Peace to you and your environs.

Found Art Friday 234

Dear ones,

Here at The Department of Homeland Inspiration - we're lucky to have a dog we must walk. In so doing, the same path is never the same:

Artistic License? - Our new Business card?

We try not to let it get to us. But it does, because we're all about percolation, digestion, reflection ....

Since it is Harvest Festival season, we are are going to celebrate the large category of vegetable named squash and the exuberant way that it grows and plans how to support items that may weigh more than a baby and feed an imaginarty (yes a typo) village.
