    I’ve never tried Romanesco broc­coli, but it’s absolutely beau­ti­ful. I need to order some seeds!

  3. The Family Duck

    pet duck

    When you live on a farm, you fre­quently become the go-to source for those with pets that have “out­grown” their space. We recently acquired a new pet duck, Quackie, who sur­pris­ingly behaves much like a fam­ily dog. We have a num­ber of wild ducks on our lake, but never one that was domes­ti­cated like Quackie. He’s really a lot of fun, swim­ming in the lake with the kids (he likes to dive and swim between their legs) and gen­er­ally fol­low­ing you wher­ever you go (fully expect­ing to be allowed in the house).

    Ducks = the new fam­ily dog?

  4. Amazon Tree Houses

    Derek Saun­der­son, based in Cron­berry in Ayr­shire, Scot­land, started Ama­zon Tree Houses to “… bring the craft of tree house build­ing back from the accoun­tants and the sales­men, and put it back firmly in the hands of the crafts­men whose pas­sion for tree house build­ing shows in their skill and com­mit­ment for cre­at­ing beau­ti­ful and nat­ural structures.”

    We’ve been want­ing to build a tree­house for quite a while, we need to make the time to do it!

  5. Pencil Sculptures

    Artist Jen­nifer Maestre takes hun­dreds of pen­cils, cuts them into 1-inch sec­tions, drills a hole in each sec­tion (to turn them into beads), sharp­ens them all and sews them together to cre­ate these visu­ally stun­ning pen­cil sculp­tures. Beautiful!
