my daughter and i were cutting firewood yesterday and we came across this two-toned limb. so i cut a few slices for STILL. while i hovered over my camera lining up my shot, my son walked by and casually said “yum, tuna rolls”.

p.s. you can see the rest of our firewood handiwork on instagram here
a collection of lilies from the local highway median, where construction is scheduled to last until fall. yes, technically it was stealing, and the kids winced when i walked in the kitchen with bouquet of illicit flowers. but i saw them there, showy and bright and begging for an audience, among piles of gravel and sand, under the neglectful watch of a collection of excavators, backhoes, and bulldozers, and i couldn’t resist. i hope you don’t mind serving as their more deserving audience.

i picked this carpet of clover from my driveway and brought it to my studio (aka the kitchen counter). so my driveway got weeded and STILL blog got lucky. everybody wins.

Looks like Ailanthus – does the pith smell a bit like peanut butter?
Interesting-I am not familiar with that tree. I just looked it up. It very well could be. I just took a sniff of the discs and couldn’t make out any distinguishing scents. I am intrigued though. I’ll see if I can find the source of my limb. Yay, I love learning new things :-) Thanks Jenn!
i love the analogy. Perhaps you can dye with the dark centers.
