Stormy Day

Yesterday I had to keep taking photos of the light outside. It was such a gorgeous windy day out here. It would rain and then the sun would come out, then sprinkle, then sun..

It ended with a gorgeous glowing sunset. Im very lucky.

Just wanna show off for a second....

I came in 5th at the annual "Skillet Toss".

You can see, in this ridiculous photograph, the skillet Im hurling here, about 10 feet in front of me. Its a heavy cast iron pan. I went to a small town fair just north of me, and this is apparently what they do for competitions. Its awsome! I also got to see an owl, pet the farm animals and eat real maple cotton candy. Behind me is the remains of the log chopping contest. Simple pleasures.

note: i think i deserve 1st place for effort, just LOOK at me!

Meet me at the INDIEPUBLIC!

I work hard at keeping up with all this internet stuff. It seems though, that it is really endless, this web of connections you could possibly make.


I think this is a good one to have though, a little Indiepublic page. Its a great place to continue networking with other artists, designers, makers and people interested in the same things.
