A new spin on old ideas

I've been caught up the last few days on new ways of painting dala horses and combining them with other ethnic designs. I got so excited that I went straight to designing with them on zazzle and haven't gotten around to scanning images or getting any photos for you yet.
The weather is sunny and great so I keep popping out to work on the yard and garden in between things but haven't gotten around to getting photos of that either.
We were just taking a break for a cup of tea in the front garden when a guy came up trying to sell meat out of a van. This was funny for a number of reasons but mostly because we haven't seen a steak or any money in years.
The up side of that is not caring anymore whether we eat meat or not and finding that we feel better both physically and mentally when we don't.
We felt a bit sorry for the kid, what a way to try to make a living in 80+ degree weather (dragging around boxes of meat). It can't be doing either of them much good...
The van he was driving just matched the trailer we're trying to sell so for just a minute we got our hopes up.
Oh well, sometimes life's like that. Everyday we dare to dream and get our hopes up a bit. Who knows, maybe someday we'll be right and it will all work out.
