The other day I mentioned kids and dogs as an obvious possibility for somewhat or actually unexplainable features around domestic archaeological sites. So, was this floral art kids or adults?
(Obviously, even the best of show types of the canine persuasion are out here….)
On another note, here’re suggestions for overcoming stage fright. In a nutshell: “Don’t think about yourself.”
Yeah. If you can….

Very gray and overcast late this afternoon here in Midtown Atlanta, rather like last fall in central Michigan….

Most Mesoamericanists recognize that households in more or less complex societies provision themselves through a variety of acquisitive acts, including trading and bartering, marketing, reciprocal gifting, redistributive exchanging, and various kinds of resource sharing, all at the same time…
Is your household more like this, or less?

Lots of techno-wizardry around here, culminating in, tada!, an almost complete transition to a new server! Night after night of intense labors by the Guru…so I made another lasagne, which has become our comfort food this winter it seems, to honor these undertakings.
This lasagne has a backbone of goat cheese and ricotta, with special appearances by some barely sauteed zucchini layers. I missed the pesto I used last time (herbs today: mostly thyme and marjoram).

Developers (usually not actual homeowners) keep building these inappropriate, poorly designed McMansions in our neighborhood, and I thought I’d just stop and remember the venerable originals. Yes, it was much larger and more imposing, architecturally and literally, than its neighbors, but, geeze louise, no way you could call it ugly! Even broken into apartments in its present life, this is a fine structure!

JCB’s current trendsetting: winter park walking….
Aka, new shoes, too tight….

I sure miss the paper birches of the north, but these river birches (Betula nigra) are plenty pretty, too….

Ooops!
Reminded myself what a mess thermal shock can make of your oven.
