Points and...

I've been experimenting with points and flaps and a pattern designed in a dream. These are all works in progress.

I've been spending a bit more time in the yard this year than usual. You might remember the fig tree crash of a few weeks ago. I found a small root at the base with some leaves and cut it off and put it in a small pot. Initially all the leaves dyed so I clipped them off and cut the whole thing down closer to the root. Just a few weeks and brand new leaves have sprouted. Now to decide where to plant this tree.

CRASH...

My poor fig tree. It just fell over. My neighbor called me and told me. I never heard a sound from inside the house. And it is full of figs that are not even ripe enough for the birds.
