2009-11-05T17:43:00.000-08:00

november is here. i have decided to prepare for thanksgiving early. mommy says she doesn't think she will like bunny mash, but i told her you should always give new foods a try before you decide if you like them or not.

mommy said i should keep that in mind next time she spoons up some strained carrots, or squash, or peas, or pears...

my first halloween

2009-10-31T18:49:00.001-07:00

we had a fun day with aunt trista, uncle matthew and cousins lily and gavin. mommy took lots of photos. here are just a few...

feel the force around you

2009-10-31T18:40:00.000-07:00

Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is. Life creates it, makes it grow. Its energy surrounds us and binds us. Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter. You must feel the Force around you; here, between you, me, the tree, the rock, everywhere, yes. Even between the land and the ship.

happy halloween!

how do you make pink?

2009-06-01T17:04:00.000-07:00

PAINT If you are using water colors, you will need only one color to make pink: red. You may use the "wet wash" method. Just cover your white paper with water and then apply a small amount of red paint, washing it all across the entire page. If you are using acrylics or oils, you will use predominantly white paint. Just dab some white paint on your palette and add a tiny drop of any of the reds. Mix well. Add ever so small a dab more if you are not satisfied with the level of pink saturation at first. Use of a brick red will give you a muddier pink, closer to a peach. Vermilion will give you a nice shade of pure pink. FROSTING For frosting, you can use a method very similar to that used for paint. Start with white frosting. Add to this the most minuscule drop possible of red food coloring. The red is very strong, and will turn that white frosting pink in a jiffy. Stir very well, until you have a nice uniform blend. Add another drop if you want a deeper shade. And then, since pink frosting might be good in a flavor such as strawberry, add some flavoring as well. Again, just a small touch. KNITTING Use red wool and white wool. Choose a pattern which allows a large amount of intertwining of the materials. From a distance, your completed sweater will almost look pink. CHEEKS For pink cheeks you won't do any mixing at all. Just go outside for a walk on a cold day. Of course you could use rouge, but that may not be as healthy for you. LIGHTS For a stage - Cross two or more beams of light to create a pink effect. Ideally, you should use an even number of light beams, half white/clear, and the other set red. If you want a darker pink, use more red, and for a lighter pink, make sure that you use more white beams than red. FLOWERS You can dye flowers to a nice shade of pink. The trick of course, is to begin with a white flower, and then to add red coloring. Carnations work very well for this method. Just put some red food coloring in a glass of water. Fill a large bowl with water and get a good pair of nice sharp garden shears. Place your stem under the water, and cut the stem with the shears, keeping the stem under water the entire time. Cut about an inch off the bottom. Then insert the stem directly into the glass you had already filled with red water. Wait just a few hours, and you will have a pink carnation.

Five Baby Falcons Born At Three City Bridges

Five peregrine falcon chicks were born atop the towers of MTA bridges!
Falcons love high perches because they "provide an excellent vantage point for hunting prey, including pigeons and small birds"

hopefully, LAHR isn't at the "hunting for pigeons" stage yet. :)
