Art all over, all the time, kid food, feathers

 Yesterday was a feast of art. It was cleaning day when I go out and leave them to work in peace, so I went to the local library to see the current gallery exhibit, and knit.

I just picked a few, but there's more if the qr code works for you. It's a very lively and thoughtful show. The reflections are tricky, hence the lopsided views.

Then a walk in the cool sunshine, slower these days, but such views and finds.

I suspect this is a red tail hawk feather, found below where they often fly lazy circles, and the downy section is so warm and soft in your hand. The feather police will definitely get me for this!

Then, Textiles and Tea featured a rug hooker, whose work is exquisite. She also does punch needle, and raises traditional work to an an art form, often in huge sizes, as you see. The portrait is of a 96 year old woman crafter. She took a photograph, then drew out the image on newspaper on her kitchen floor, no studio then. 

And after all that highfalutin talk about pepper, which I used in a tomato sauce over pasta, and very good, too, full of warm flavor, not just heat, I later had a snack for my inner kid

Egg in top hat. You put the hat on when you serve it. On the egg, that is.

Happy day everyone, do something silly, just because!
