2025: Day 60.... "A Pile of Guitars"

 

Foam core guitar centerpieces

Look at this!

You have to look deep into this picture
to see what the heck is going on.

Can you tell what's even there?

It's a pile of GUITAR CENTERPIECES.

Red ones and silvery fire ones on 
mylar poufed decorative bases with
variegated glittered stars.

I love these and think they make
smashing centerpieces for a 
Rock Star Party
 or
    any music themed party.

I'm proud to ship these out because
I'm sure they are going to make
someone feel very happy & special 

and 

THAT'S
THE 
GOAL.

2025: Day 59....."No Ice is Safe Ice"

water and ice on Wolverine Lake

 This is February 2025 out MY window.

 Unsafe ice.

Someone on our lake posted 

this picture here below.

chopping the lake ice to see how deep it is
No. It's not safe. 
It has a crack. See it on the left.

It has moving water underneath 
that 13"...AND......someone else
noticed a key point.


Lakes are beautiful and dangerous both.
They need to be respected as such.

You can't drown ON ice.
But you sure can drown UNDER it.





2025: Day 58....."Stag Horn Fern Styles"

 If I lived in Florida....

I'd grow Stag Horn Ferns in every tree.

Just like this picture I took in Florida on a visit. 

A bouquet in a tree.

All living and growing.

These are my stag horn ferns here in Michigan.
One of them is growing in a tree.
A dead tree.
My version of the Florida version above.

Not as glorious as the Florida look.

Note the spray bottle to keep up
the humidity.
There is also a humidifier underneath it.
Maybe in the summer it will perk up.

The other one is in a pot & looking better.
It's in a southeast window.
It also has a spray bottle nearby.
Making an outdoor plant into an
indoor houseplant is a glorious challenge.

I'll never achieve this look below... of the
fern in a botanical garden....
nor would I want to.

It looks like an alien creature ready
to dissolve me in it's innards.
I can almost see a face in there.
