Here we are celebrating in the midst of our lockdown. I got My Rebecca a punchcard from the Vashon Theater for a gift so she can catch some flicks when things thaw out. Things will thaw out won’t they? Sure they will!
There was a pic of a Mama Swan and her Five Cygnets (great word) just taken in Ireland by Christine Valters Paintner. Yup Mama and Her Babies. Happy Mother’s Day Mama Swan!
I’m getting into the mama thing here with my corn seed. Friday morning I put it in coffee cans and added water. Then after 24 hours laid out layers of seed between water paper towels to keep them moist. They are waking up after their time in lockdown. Soon there with be a visual difference and off they will go. So off they will go in the warm moist soil when we get them planted is the idea, a running start.
This soaking process isn’t necessary but it gets these little corn cygnets started while the soil out warms up a few more degrees. Our growing season is on the short end of the scale for sweet corn so I am trying to stretch that by half a week.
Yup, momness is around and well. Oh, have to go Catherine will be here momentarily so we can do our homespun church service.
happy mother’s day loves, Felipé.
Happy Mother’s Day to Rebecca!!! Hope she is in the mend now!!! What a way to start the month of May…
I love this endeavor of planting the corn, even more in this context the world is in… It is an act of big trust and big hope that this world will heal soon… I picture you as the man who painted the yellow arrows in the Camino for the first time… he surely was trusting and hoping a Pilgrim or two to come and his arrows to show them the path… not knowing it would be millions overtime…
Planting Corn in the times of Coronavirus, Love

Cris ~ I will pass that on to Rebecca. Yes, so far so good with the healing process. She had fun yesterday visiting with her children and grands(one on Voom).
Yup, here we are painting the yellow arrows here right now, I think. There is a place in this new world order for Caminothink, I think (gosh darn nice new word!). What do you think?
monday morning loves, Felipé.x
Cygnet is a great name! Some of my favorite names for baby animals..
Coyote/Wolf = Whelp
Kangaroo = Joey
Platypus = Puggle
Goose = Gosling
Oyster = Spat (which has an idiomatic bent to it)
Thank you for joining us on the Zoom calls these past few weeks. Given our newfound knowledge of technology (I’d never heard of Zoom until COVID), Annie will have us all working for NORAD soon!
Kevin ~ nice to see you and work with you. I am getting into Zoom and yes, it is new to me too. Loving Puggle! Keep in touch, Felipé.
