Time to Rethatch Our Teahouse

Twenty some years ago my wife Lorraine awoke and assured me that I was craving to build an authentic Japanese Teahouse in our back meadow.  So I did – and the original thatch has lasted a quarter century.  These pictures show the new bundles of thatch I scythed down, hauled up, and tied down onto the roof, with a lot of help from my buddy – Thanks Marvin.  Everyone should have a retreat, be it for solitude and/or contemplation with a few close friends.

 

Grasping for Gold

I see more Goldfinches up here in Massachusetts than down south in NewJersey where Goldfinch is the state bird.   When I ask my liberal friends, they say it’s a sign of global warming.  But my conservative friends say it’s definitely due to the more wasteful expenditures of high quality bird seed employed in the democratic liberals up on the shores of Cape Cod.  Well, at least the birds can take wing and rise above politics.
