Quicky pork ramen last night. Without the labor of boiling bones! 😁

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. Cool little tables, but I wouldn’t trust them with too many of my favorite cocktails at one time, especially on a rug! They are very similar to the Paul McCobb Cigarette Table.

Found a set of Yamazaki Gone Fishin’ flatware the other day at a thrift that is currently transforming itself into a boutique. If I buy another two soup spoons online, I’ll have enough for ten settings. Crazy looking stuff, but that knife is a pleasure to hold. Maybe octopus and fish will be on the menu for first meal.

Made in Japan.

Finally…a nice morning in the garden. Still cool but tolerable. What a spring.

Vintage 1950s #GlennRichardson #Haeger #Glenwoodbison sculpture. Unusual for Haeger.

Picked up this interesting #woodsculpture yesterday. Much of it appears to have been charred using the Japanese technique of #ShouSugiBan. Its heavy as hell and well preserved. Really interesting shape, color and detail.

Beautiful morning in my garden watching the koi eat.

Feeding time at the ol’ koi korral. They are loving the warmer weather and getting more hungry by the day.

France called. They want their lawn sprinkler back!

@cazmockett thanks. You have to keep them thinned out, cut out the dead wood and the branches that are crossing over each other resulting in a tangle of branches. They need the air.
