thanks for the book recommendation (it looks...Kim,<br /><br />thanks for the book recommendation (it looks like I'm collecting quite few lately - I'll put yours along with Elena's recommendation of "Siddartha" by Hesse - and basicaly adding it to a long list of waiting-to-be-read books I have in mind).<br /><br />I reply with a movie recommandation "Love" by William Eubank...pretty touching, and if you liked "2001: A Space Odyssey" you'll love this too (but be prepared to some emotional take on loneliness - as if that could be taken otherwise!- haha).<br /><br />And yeah, Elena made me aware of my confusion regarding the ciccada's...she told me about the bird, as well! I'm not sure I've seen any, not mentioning that I didn't know their name. but I'll look around to see them :)<br /><br />last summer, I saw from very close one ciccada (the bug)...huge, beautifull, amazing creature...it was dead (looks like is very difficult to see them alive, you just can hear them but never identify the exact direction from where they emit the sound - it is a trick they use).<br /><br />Hugs to you and Kaz (some people call me Raz :) so I'd be good budy with Kaz) and high-five my friend Josh for me!<br /><br />Razvan<br /> Razvanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17672152254400680565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4460330305204724476.post-39906056609064599832013-03-05T13:30:11.600-05:002013-03-05T13:30:11.600-05:00Hi Razvan!
I miss you and your family! How is ever...Hi Razvan!<br />I miss you and your family! How is everyone? Your sausage project sounds great and like another good way to get out of the house when it's still cold and snowy outside. Sure, send me the recipe! Maybe I'll make it next year during sugar season and check my sap buckets and sausages at the same time :-)!<br /><br />I like your story about the cicada's. Their lifetime is so different from ours! Sometimes I play that game in my mind and imagine what it feels like to be different life forms that have different lifetimes from ours. There is a book called "Einstien's Dreams" that touches on this kind of day dreaming. You might like it! <br /><br />But no, I'm not hearing the cicada's yet...that's for the warmer weather, you're right. I'm hearing the little black and white birds, called Chicadees. They are here all year but their spring song is pretty and different from their winter sounds. Perhaps you hear and see them in Toronto?Kimberly Wachtelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03418731674136228243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4460330305204724476.post-21438563563524549622013-03-05T08:44:57.285-05:002013-03-05T08:44:57.285-05:00Chicaddas? already? here in toronto we hear them o...Chicaddas? already? here in toronto we hear them only in plain summer, when the sun and heat are almost unbearrable :) did you know that they are the loudest creatureas on this Earth, and some species come to life once in 14 years, for ~ 1 week?! (then again, 14 years cycle begins, from eggs to cocoon stage, for another week of adult life...that's some preparation, eh! :) if it would be to transpose this to humans, would be to live like infants and toddle for 70 years, then suddenly, after a brief transformation, to live like adults for 1 month...I think I'd like that more:)...in one month we would have time just for making love and poetry (no time for other bullshits that humans use to make out of toooo much time they have at their disposal...we wouldn't be able to develop greed and loneliness in just one day)<br /><br />great idea of taping the maples if you have many :) we have just one in the backyard, very big (it is ~100 years) and once we thought of tapping him...but he is like our backyard friend...we don't want to tap him :)<br /><br />this year I've made "gyudem" one specialty sausagge that had to be curred in the cold outside for few weeks :) and I;ve done the same as you, going almost every day to check the cage I've done it to protect them from rodents and racoons :) they are dellicious with some fine cheese and wine (I'll give you the recipe if you want to try!)Razvanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17672152254400680565noreply@blogger.com
