Comment on The Bird of Your Dreams by John Lechner

John Lechner — Fri, 27 May 2011 18:14:36 +0000

I think that bird fell into my watercolor palette and rolled around a bit. It’s really amazing! It’s true, there are things in nature that are so fantastical, you could never make them up.

I was wishing that myself actually – the eyebrow thing alone is pretty great.

Wow, Marghanita – those birch necklaces are awesome! I have a load of branches in the garage (you know, as one does) so I’ll have to try one out. Thanks again for stopping by! (PS, I didn’t know that they were called ‘the lady of the woods’. I love tidbits like that)

Oh Jessica- I will have to make one of these. They are wonderful. I feel such a connection with trees. They give me energy. I made birch necklaces during my summer nature classes which were a huge hit.: http://www.marghanita.com/nature-crafts-a-fun-way-to-learn-about-trees/
I love your work Jessica-thank you for sharing. You are an inspiration to us all.

Comment on Dragon in the Window by Richard

Richard — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 02:20:42 +0000

This reminds me of a lot of creations I’d see put on TV to entertain me when I was young, during the summer, morning shows, before the advent of computer generated graphics. Except your work is like authentic gold while that was painted iron.

Comment on Dragon in the Window by Jessica

Jessica — Thu, 10 Feb 2011 02:02:59 +0000

Same to you, Marghanita! When I was really young, I used to ask for a luck dragon for Christmas. Still workin’ on it, but I’m glad I’m not the only one who believes..!

Thanks Marghanita! We’ve had another big dumping of snow last night, so it looks like it’s a good day to stay huddled inside with some clay! I feel a snow themed notebook coming on…

Comment on The Candy Wrapper Brigade by Mel

That’s a great idea. I hid my kids’ candy and I think they forgot about it (they’re 2 and 3). So, I guess I’ll just have to eat it all myself.

Thanks so much, Marghanita and Jean!! (Sorry it took so long to get your comments visible by the way – I’ve been having spammy problems around here lately!) =/
I love Al Pacino anyday – but when you can apply what he says to our planet, I love him even more! Thanks again for stopping by!

Comment on Healing Earth the Al Pacino Way by Jean Carrie

Jean Carrie — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 23:53:23 +0000

Well done. YOU have the right idea. We all need to play
our part to help make the world a better place to live and the only way to do that is to notice what is going on around us and irrespective of country or creed learn as much as we can about other nations and their problems so that we can understand and pull together to try and get the best solutions for us all.

Comment on Healing Earth the Al Pacino Way by Marghanita Hughes

Marghanita Hughes — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 03:50:06 +0000

Brilliant Jessica! Love, love, love this!!!! Powerful stuff from Al Pacino. And how applicable the message is for what is happening to our planet right now. I’m so with you on this-if we all do our bit then collectively we CAN make a difference.
Such an inspirational post- I feel fueled Jessica and honored that you mention my work………thank you!
OKAY, I’m off to email some folks this awesome post. We CAN do this, inch by inch!!

What a great idea. I spent several summers as a cave guide and caving specialist (yeah, those are real jobs). Nothing like crawling around in the bowels of the earth… This experiment looks so fun!

Comment on Look for the Bear Necessities by Michelle

Michelle — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 21:52:35 +0000

I love your bear! I’m definitely bummed that of all the tromping around I’ve done, in Oregon and California, I’ve never actually seen a bear. I’ve been really close – close enough to smell the wet fur and see the fresh tracks, but they’ve always eluded me. One of these days…

There’s so much we have yet to learn abut this big, blue ball we call earth. This applies to our own little piece of the earth, too – there is so much to explore right around where we live, whether it’s a museum downtown or that county park that so many overlook.

Leave it to the Master to use the word “badass” in an article about the Easter Bunny!

Number four is just frightening.

Roy Scribner — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 03:50:29 +0000

I miss our wild rabbits! We had rabbits in our backyard, in Oregon. Rabbits don’t fare so well, here in California – there are a lot of predators!

Comment on Top Five Spring Things by Roy Scribner

Roy Scribner — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 17:10:14 +0000

I am so ready for spring! It’s the best season, here in the Santa Clara valley, because the hills are still green. By the end of April, everything will be brown and I’ll have to go to the Sierras for my green fix.

Hooray for spring! Time to rake the garden and see which perennials have come back this year. Just being outside in the springtime is amazing, there’s nothing like it.

Fibonacci numbers are fascinating – I use them in my (very amateur) stock market trades to guestimate percentage moves.

Comment on How To Catch a Leprechaun by Roy Scribner

Roy Scribner — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 15:28:49 +0000

Our kids forgot to make Leprechaun traps, this year. When they got home from school, they discovered that the Leprechauns had ransacked their rooms (yes, more than usual!).

My oldest daughter’s trap was quite intricate, last year. It involved a shoe box, double-sided tape, and a net made of thread. I don’t remember what the bait was?

Comment on 3 Writing Lessons from Nature by Jessica

Jessica — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 12:47:49 +0000

Hey Roy!
Sorry it took me so long to get back to you – these books are taking over!
I do find that I work best with two projects (or three, or four…) – even if I have a great project, after working for a certain amount of time on it, I always get a bit blah. Having another project on the go really helps me from losing steam overall, or getting stuck in the rest stage. I also find that by working on two projects, I end up finishing them faster!

You might even find that by having more than one thing going, your mind starts to realize it better bring good ideas to your attention quick, because it knows time is limited!

As a fellow writer, I definitely appreciate these lessons from nature. I hadn’t connected the writing process with natural processes, so thanks for doing that for me.

Comment on 3 Writing Lessons from Nature by Roy Scribner

Roy Scribner — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 13:42:12 +0000

Do you find it easier to work on two projects? I seem to get stuck in the “rest” stage and I’m wondering if switching between two different projects might keep me more interested.

Thanks Marghanita! I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw him sprawl out like that – then completely fall asleep! He must like it around here.
Really though, who wouldn’t with all the free food around … I hope you’re enjoying the pre-spring weather – your bike ride looked fantastic! Definitely got me in the mood for some ‘me time’ outside.

Hey Jess,
As always (in my mind atleast),Henry gets it right
It’s the things that connect with our soul that make us feel “right with the world”…we just need to somehow make that a priority each and every day to live our best lives. Thanks for the reminders!

Comment on Frankie Say Relax…with the Ocean by Mel

Mel — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 15:45:17 +0000

We play ocean sounds on repeat on the ipod at night. Mostly we are trying to create white noise for the boys, but it is good to know there are other benefits.

Comment on Frankie Say Relax…with the Ocean by Roy Scribner

Roy Scribner — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 15:29:27 +0000

I think our favorite family camping experiences are at the beach, at night. The sound is very relaxing and, combined with the smell of the sea, it’s just an awesome experience.

On our way out the door to school this morning, the kids spotted a hawk flying overhead (very unusual in urban Los Angeles). The hawk took up roost in a tree right in front of our house! Of course I have no photo to prove it, but we all felt kinda special to be in the presence of such awesomeness.

Comment on Wild 5: Groundhog Day! by Mel

Mel — Wed, 03 Feb 2010 05:00:33 +0000

In spring ground squirrels start popping up around here. Everyone calls them gophers and it drives me batty.

How about a black bear day? They’re my favorite. Or a yellow-bellied marmot day?

Comment on Wild 5: Groundhog Day! by Roy Scribner

Hi Alyce!
Thanks for stopping by and commenting – I love it when people pop out of the woodwork after reading for awhile
I’ve just set up an email subscription option (which *hopefully* should work like a charm) – I’m not very savvy with all of this ‘computer’ stuff, so thanks for bearing with me while I get things up and running! You can find this option on the sidebar now, above the Latest Hits. I hope this helps, definitely let me know if you have any problems and I’ll get things squared away! Thanks again for the kind words!

Thanks for stopping by, Mel! There is definitely something about bears, isn’t there? Watching them, they actually remind me of humans in ‘bear suits’, if that makes any sense. I’ve only seen 2 black bears, both in Algonquin Park here in Ontario – one mama with a little cub. Adorable. =)
And congrats to you for winning the giveaway! You’ll love the necklace, it’s gorgeous!

If I had a totem animal it would be a bear. A black bear (the species, not the color).I have had many encounters with black bears (which all turned out just fine, unless you are the windshield wiper on my old truck).

I LOVE your griz and I HATE bile farming. That made me feel a little sick.

I think I relate most to a panda.

I like rolling around and scratching my belly and navel-gazing and absentmindedly noshing on bamboo shoots.

Case in point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzRH3iTQPrk

I am also happy to pose for photos, particularly if it’s for the WWF.

Congratulations! Babies always make me stop and think about what changes they are likely to see, as they grow up. My grandmother has amazing stories of traveling in horse-drawn wagons to work in the Michigan logging camps, as a young girl. She has seen automobiles, airplanes, electricity, telephones – it’s mind boggling!

I also visited your The Deal/About page and I just think what you wrote there is great. Yes, we are all connected.

New Zealand is on my wish list of places to go & your post certainly got me itching again. Awesome pics!

My most adventurous travel destination? Churchill, Manitoba (Hudson Bay) to see polar bears in the wild. An unforgettable journey into the wild.

Hah! Yes, I would definitely recommend a flight where James Blunt was not the televised entertainment. Although there was also some Elton John. I had ‘Rocketman’ in my head for days…

Okay, I have thought long and hard about this… and I have come to a rather cliched conclusion. I relate most to pigs. Firstly, I am intensely curious. I also like to think that I am intelligent, as pigs are. I think for the most part, I can also relate well to underestimated creatures and pigs are most definitely that. Oh, and we’re rather close genetically

The thing that solidified my conclusion may or may not have been an entry from another awesome blog The Oatmeal… http://theoatmeal.com/comics/pigs

I love everything about this post as it combines four of my favourite things in internet browsing: lists, travel/NZ, Lord of the Rings and your writing. I am also insanely envious that you braved the 23 hour plane ride.

Thanks! The glowworm caves were truly out of this world – I wonder if the Prime Minister of NZ reads my blog?
I love your website by the way!
