and I think this is lovely!

We just purchased an Electrolux Induction range jammed with bells and whistles a couple months ago. I should have asked DH if he was up for remodeling the entire kitchen about this beauty!

It reminds me of my first car - a 1957 Chevy that Dad gave me when I got my license.

Oh I know that dandelions are the nemesis for A LOT of gardeners all over but with over two acres of lawn I've had to learn to at least tolerate them... otherwise I'd go broke trying to get rid of them all!! Like my neighbor's husband does... every year he sprays and sprays and sprays and then digs... to get every last dandelion and bug and all other weeds.. guess that comes from him being a retired golf course greensman! LOL. On the other hand I don't really care about whether they're there or not.. my husband doesn't like the weeds in the lawn as we not only have dandelions but plantain, creeping charlie, white clover, lamium... etc. the way I look at it is if it's green it's better than dirt which is what we had when we first moved in. There are a few "weeds" that I like to have in the "lawn" because they attract honey bees.. especially the white clover... as well as other insects. Oh, and just to let y'all know those nasty dandelion seeds don't blow onto our neighbor's yard from our's because the prevailing winds blow from their yard to ours.. :D Thanks for the comments on the photos though... as that was the main reason for taking them. I am into photography as well as other things. ttfn Cheryl.

Someone told me that thistles are one plant that you don't want growing on a prairie or meadow. Where thistles grow, nothing grows around them and they will crowd everything else out. It is like what walnut trees do - some sort of chemical in the plant doesn't allow other plants to grow close to them. Then they put out thousands of little seeds and every single one of them (or so it seems) germinates. But, the pictures are pretty and the color and shape of the flowers are pretty. I just wouldn't want them growing in a pasture or meadow if it was my land.

What's an 'art quilt'? Opinions!
Q

laura- the debate on what is art versus what isn't can only be resolved in your mind- as each of us makes our own, unique connection to what it is we are seeing, reading, hearing or (as in the case with quilts) feeling. As I mentioned on another forum (I forget where) I could spit on the sidewalk, frame it and call it art. And for me that would be true. Now for anyone else they make up their own minds. As an "artist" it is not (nor ever could be) my job to convince anyone else about the legitimacy of my work. The paths one takes internally to "get" art are as subjective and vast as art itself. Some people try to figure out what the artists was thinking while others internalize the art and try to unscramble their own reactions to it. None of these paths are the only way and every one of them is the right way. Does that make sense? So in the case with bare abstractions (a few yellow splats of paint on a canvas) perhaps the minimalist technique was only meant to evoke a minimal response. In other words, art isn't always "deep". My work- especially the abstracts- are always meant to show movement, balance and tension without being something specific. I like to think of them as short cerebral conversations between myself and the viewer: I present an idea represented by colors, lines and stitches. The viewer then has a reaction to it. Call and response. Usually, people have a much more tangible, visceral response to this next kind of work. The imagery is easier to internalize and therefore assessments on the work are easier to make. For most of my work I start with a solid piece of (black) fabric into which "windows are cut out and replaced with colored fabric. Of course, the edges are turned under and the pieces are joined with a zig-zag of clear or smoke monofilament.

No, we got the Electrolux Induction.

I just stumbled across this gorgeous thing this morning surfing around.

Wouldn't it be fun though?! Gosh, it's just so cool - I'd hate to actually cook on it & get it all icky. :(

I love antique & vintage stuff.

I love the look of vintage ranges, and that one is gorgeous. I'd also love to have a house in which it was appropriate. The house fully restored, of course, so I don't have to deal with all the issues. One can dream!

My mother moved into a house in 1962 with a very similar stove....but without the upper oven. It was a Roper and had 6 burners configured so that there was space between each bank of 2 burners....2 ovens, storage, broiler, clock, timer....wonderful stove....!
Then in 1972 I moved into a house with a fairly new POS Frigidaire electric, avocado green 2 oven horror...all the bells and whistles....even a burner that had a thing you put into your pan and it stirred your pudding....but nothing worked well....and I hated it!
How I would have loved to have had an old outdated gas stove that worked!!....sigh....

I had a 1960's OKM in an apartment in San Francisco and loved it. I could even do wok cooking on it (the PG&E guy fiddled with the big front burner and gave me a few more BTUs). Simmered beautifully and cleaned up far more easily than anything I've had since.

It was my first open-burner stove, and I've regretted not having another one ever since.

One of my friends lived in a flat with an electric OKM. She'd always used gas before and was dreading using an electric range, but to her surprise found the OKM was top-notch; she needed to make very little adjustment in her cooking style. The design was amazing: the burner top rolled in and out like a drawer (saving space in her awkward small kitchen) and it had two ovens, the top one with the snazzy door that opened upwards on a spring hinge.

I wish I would have bought one of those old stoves instead of my Wolf. I love the old stoves and they were built to last. That is a beauty!

Lust. I had a beautiful old Wedgewood in the house when I was first married. I still miss it.
