An Arrow

In January I had a nice conversation with a man making his own arrows at the Birka event.  He carves the wood into the shaft himself and carves out the nock and sews on feathers.  He has someone he knows make the arrowhead.  I feel like I made that sound simpler than it is.  Anyhow, we had a little bit of correspondence after that event as I was very impressed with the craftmanship he puts into making the arrows.  Today he and his sister visited.  He has been looking for chaga and I let him look on the property and to harvest some.  He plans to make a firestarter out of it.  We saw three deer while walking the property and looking for the chaga.  The deer looked nice and healthy as they ran through the trees away from us.  The garden has fed them well.

The man gifted me with one arrow that he made.  It is pretty.  I think he was planning to present it to me at an event, but there haven't been any.  Another day with company is my happy for the day.  I must admit that I am feeling a bit peopled out after this weekend, going back to work will be a challenge.

Woodpecker.

I see a skull like face near the middle of that cloud.

Double rainbow!
