This will never do
No, no, no. It is supposed to be a golden kraken on a black field. I don’t know who is giving House Greyjoy marketing advice, but this is just diluting the brand.
Ingenuity at work, work, work
The corn has been harvested and dried on the patio, and now to remove the kernels from the cobs. One of the women we are working with on the stove project showed us how they go about this process. Such a simple but effective design, and still an incredible amount of work, all by hand. […]
That’s quite a view you have there
Nothing like an active volcano to really make the workday more interesting, that, and getting to work outside for a day.

I think I’ve been spotted…

Mixed messages
From a small town butcher’s shop, a basic “do unto others” message with ominous visuals. It really is just best to pay at the time of purchase.
Up, up, but not quite away
Or, hour 3 of circus training in the form of my first aerial silks lesson. Absolutely as much fun as I expected, and soreness in a whole different way from climbing. Elegance is going to be a big challenge.
The Long View
From the state of Hidalgo, looking out from Grutas Xoxafi.
