'tater harvest
Gonna be a late dinner for mama and Sam tonight. We just got back from reading Tintin at Third Place Books in Ravenna, harvested some pretty yukon gold potatoes-lots of Oooohs and Aaaahs as we pulled 'em out of the dirt. Now I'm cooking up a batch to serve with basily chicken poached in tomato soup. Mmmm... I hope. Kali is being stubborn, she's arguing with me about what color blue she wants to be. That's OK, though Sam has another project for me. He requested a portrait of himself, holding a vajra in front of my Green Tara sculpture... Apparently it's for a game he wants to play with Rowan entitled 'The Secret of the Vajra". Should be a cool portrait.

Man, your kid is 'trippy' in the truest sense of the word.

I much prefer 'brilliant and creative' myself, but suit yourself.
I thought it was pretty neat that he came up with such a unique request, completely from his own wild little imagination, fueled by Titins adventures and Rowan and his marvelously detailed games.
We went to Third Place Books so he could show me the Tintin comic that inspired the portrait-'The Secret of the Unicorn'-wherein little parchment maps to a treasure are hidden in three model boats and the clue is hidden in a portrait of Captain Francis Haddock(an ancestor of the current blustering Captain Haddock).
Hence, The Secret of The Vajra... And the portrait of Sam.
He is eagerly awaiting Rowans return so they can play the game.

You know, Rowan might not want to play the game, still if she doesn't want to play the game we'll still both be glad that we did the portrait 'cause it's very cool.
And that's all.
