Some little buildings I have been cutting out and photographing outside.
My really good cut!!! Unlike most of you are probably thinking I didn't get it from my e-xacto while paper cutting...I was actually buying some stickers in a market and reached into my bag to grab some money and had a normal razor in my bag (in its packaging and all...Joni and I were headed to the bath house later) and gouged my finger. The sales lady didn't know what to do, threw me a couple of tissues (still made me pay way too much) and I went to find Joni who I was supposed to be meeting up with. The whole thing was quite an ordeal and and I wasn't sure if I needed stitches. But thanks goodness, the guy KO living three doors down from me has his wife visiting from Clarion Ohio and she is a pediatrician. She cleaned it off for me and bandaged it. No Chinese stitches!!! YES!!!!
A frame shop I visited earlier in the morning.
Several more views of it....

The village behind me.
The sun on a clear day...you can stare directly at it due to the amount of stuff in the air.
Crop fields near by. Note the garbage in the foreground...it just kind of all mixes in....makes the plants hardier....ehhh
This is my favorite, the public toilet maybe a good ten feet from the irrigation ditches and another 15 feet from the actual crops.
Morning breakfast! Kind of like a crepe, but with lettuce and hot sauce and all sorts of good things. Gerry and I have a routine of going to the same guy every morning.

Laura! man that's a nasty cut. I want more pictures of your cuttings! (the paper ones, not the finger ones.)

Laura,
I admire your new cuttings, both the interesting building and the finger. I was thinking that if there's a slow down in business for paper cuttings perhaps you and Joni could start a new business with sort of a 'punk' theme where people reach into bags not knowing what's there. You could provide the razor blades and Joni the medical treatment and charge accordingly.

I'm glad you didn't need stitches but you must have been pretty bloody despite the tissues.
Remind me to send you some bandaids for any future occurrences.

On the home front, maple syrup time is in progress and we cycled out to Rock Creek way out in Ashtabula County to have a thoroughly mediocre pancake breakfast at a firehouse. Still the ride was beautiful, 65 degrees in late March! Lots of hills.

Love,
Dad

Laura, I hope you didn't bleed on your papercuttings.

Speaking of which, will the paper buildings photographed outdoors be shown as papercuttings or photographs? Just wondering...
