Blowing Hot And Cold!

Munchkin.Another.Funny.Shot

What a weird day for weather…one minute it was dull and grey and then the next minute it was hot and sunny.   And it was so blustery. Make up your mind!!  To add to all this, the power was going on and off.  As soon as it switched on, I would get up to try to get something done and when it went off, I had to sit down again.  It was like musical chairs!!  Arrrghhhh!!!

Gnome had a better attitude; well, at least he was in a better mood by the end of day even although we both had an unproductive day.

“I am going to sit here and not move.”

Well, I guess we are not all as spiritually enlightened as the Gnome!!  Despite the ups and downs, the farm is our constancy…still producing lots of lovely stuff;

Wax Apples.

Mangoes.

Hope the weather makes up its mind tomorrow!!

A Bit More About Our Philosophy…

Avatar.GnomeHuman Productivity:

In Our Philosophy and About Our Products pages, we allude to the desirability of hand-made as having something “more” over machine-made, conveyor belt things.  We also lauded human productivity.  What does this actually mean?

Let us say that we are making a gesture to the pyramids, the castles, the cathedrals, Roman ruins, any ruins, to the hand-tool, to the mentality of lasting, to the direct human ingenuity of solving a problem.  This is very romantic and ideal and sounds nice but why?
