VASE




as some of you know my brother dan in an artist wodd turner in other words he turns wood into some beautiful things like bowls-vases-plates-you name it and he can turn it...we brought back a truck load of different pieces of wood from this past winters trip ..we picked some up along the road-some from fields-and different places along the way..well to our surprise he made us a beautiful vase out of orange wood that we got..(lar went to a house next to an orange orchard that had been cut down and asked for a couple of pieces--the lady didn't speak english but he thought she said yes so we picked up a couple of pieces...and this is what he made for us...it is two different colors of wood and is just beautiful...it now sits on display in our house along with some other things he had made for us..it sure is nice to have such a talented brother..we just need to find more wood for him to work with...(not that he is running out--so if any of you know of some pklace to find some different kind of wood let us know)

also there are some pictures of some of the otehr things he has made now he just has to find some place to sell his work....so if anyone knows of any place just let me know and i will pass it on to him...

garden is slowing down a wee bit--still eating lots of tomatoes-cucumbers-zucchini-potatoes look like we should have a good crop--enough for winter...also the butternut squash still growing...
