I know I’ve been skimping on the words in some of my posts… but sometimes there just doesn’t need to be. I’m loving the dandelions in my backyards right now… having fun playing with my new camera and ever present “weed” crop!

Thursday, July 22nd, 2010Finger Puppet on Shrub
Thursday, July 22nd, 2010I tried to think of a better, more clever title for this post. But couldn’t. This is a finger puppet on a shrub.
I was walking down Burlingame Avenue and saw this rare specimen of Finger Puppet Shrub – or ‘Finguarius puppettus shrubus’. Although I was in a food coma from the awesome Burmese restaurant down the street, I still managed to be an on the spot photographer and capture these amazing shots.
The humor of this sighting was not lost on me, and I’ve determined it’s from one of two things:
A) A child was playing with it, walked by the shrub, put it on said shrub, and walked away.
B) It’s the result of some weird sexual game.
You decide.

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010Herb Usage.
Monday, June 28th, 2010When I lived in Berkeley, CA for a couple years, I was in need of an acupuncturist to try to help me get over my fear of needles, and de-stress. Luckily, I came across Bronwyn Michaelis, who offers many different types of body work, as well as acupuncture and healing with herbs. Going to her I learned that she had an incredible love of using herbs in our everyday lives – not just for culinary purposes. She taught me about different Chinese healing herbs, how to cook with them and use them for any ailment.
Here is a small interview with Bronwyn regarding herbs:
Bronwyn also grows lots of her own herbs onsite at her clinic in Berkeley. A small labyrinth with isotoma is just one of the cool little nooks in her vast garden. There are fabulous little veggies areas, terraced herbs on a giant cliff, fountains and amazing potted plants.
