Sarabande Africaine: Angélique Kidjo & Yo-Yo Ma. Pritzger Pavilion Chicago. Was not expecting the Talking Heads! Excellent show. Yo-Yo Ma is a spry one! 😂 You can tell when performers are actually having fun together. #yoyoma #angéliquekidjo #pritzgerpavilion #cso #talkingheads #cello

Tony Paul Occasional Tables for Thinline –1960s. I bought them at a flea a few months ago and finally got around to cleaning them, touching up the paint and reassembling. Adjustable height…one salmon, one cream and one robin’s egg blue. #tonypaul #thinline #mccobb #occasionaltable #cigarettetable

Found a set of Yamazaki Gone Fishin’ flatware the other day at a thrift. If I buy another two soup spoons online, I’ll have enough for ten settings. Good stuff. 18-8 stainless steel. Made in Japan. #Yamazaki #GoneFishin #utensils #flatware #dinnerware #stainless #madeinjapan #fish

I bought it from Brandon at Trilogy in Three Oaks Michigan. He had a pretty good group of them. He might give you more insight.

Correct. Yea, let’s produce all our cars in the US and see how many will pay $100,000 for a Chevy car, or how many union car workers work for nothing to make them more affordable. Ridiculous.

Found a #TibetanSingingBowl the other day. Cool sound. Today we had a massive storm, trees down everywhere. No power for the last 7 hours. So what better time to light up some candles, grab a glass of wine, and ring the bowl to soothe nerves from today’s storm. #soundhealing #soundtherapy

From Wikipedia: Akabeko (赤べこ, Akabeko, red cow) is a legendary cow from the Aizu region of Japan, who inspired a traditional toy. In legend, Akabeko the cow was present at the building of the Enzō-ji temple of Yanaizu in the ninth century. Cute as a button!

Shrimp, sausage, peppers, tomatoes and onions. First dinner outside of 2025. It was seventy degrees out earlier, but the weather is still good enough to eat dinner outside tonight! Fantastic. Maybe 80 on Friday, but that usually means severe weather! We’ll see. #shrimp #sausage #peppers #dinner

My daughter getting a BIT carried away with the raking of waves in my Japanese gravel garden. Looks like a Keith Haring painting! My kids bought this rake for me for Father’s Day, so she’s working it out! Extreme! 😀 The last image is a more refined raking by me. #japanesegarden #gravelgarden

Sun is out, it’s 54 degrees, so I gave my Japanese gravel garden it’s first cleaning of 2025. Felt good to be out working with the rake! Got the hammock out too. Still works fine. 😀 1st shot today, 2nd late spring, 3rd summer, 4th fall. #japanesegravelgarden #japanesegarden #rakinggarden #seasons

Pics of summer’s #tomato harvest. I’m going to try and trellis them differently this year. I made cages for the last ten years but it is sometimes hard to properly prune the #vines. The thought of a big bowl of fresh tomatoes, #basil, #oliveoil and #seasalt sets my mouth a watering. 🤤
