CastleLyons: Jesu, Joy
http://castlelyons7.blogspot.com/2010/10/jesu-joy.html
Thursday, October 7, 2010. Here's me playing Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring on the hammered dulcimer. My digital camera will take only a one-minute movie, so I did a shortened version and left out the fancy middle part. October 7, 2010 at 10:38 PM. Wheres the sheet music? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). It's My Maiden Name! The question I'm asked most often: Is Nicodemus really your middle name? No, it's not. But it's really my maiden name. Visit my other websites. The Unicorn = Christ. Soul of the Home.

Sunday, September 20, 2009. Just picked up this pseudochromis porphyreus (the purple one in the photo). He's listed as "semi-aggressive," which is good for being such a little guy. Already he's held his own against the bully Flame Angel, so now Flame is leaving him alone. Oh, and we named him Inigo. ("Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.") We chose that name cuz it sounds like indigo, which is kind of the color he is. Sunday, September 13, 2009. Oh well, now we can hold ...

Thursday, August 26, 2010. My ginger experiment is coming along very nicely. I had wanted to find young ginger, but the kind in the stores is usually pretty mature (read: strong). Young ginger has a milder flavor. What to do? I decided to try growing ginger myself. It seems to like this big pot on my back deck. The stems have gotten so tall they're bending over. The leaves have a nice gingery fragrance when you brush against them. Know what else likes the heat and humidity? Monday, August 16, 2010. I sai...

Thursday, November 17, 2011. Finding Christ in "The Hunt of the Unicorn". Among the most beautiful of all medieval tapestries are those that belong to the "Hunt of the Unicorn" series. Created around the 15th century in France, today they hang in the Cloisters Museum, part of the Metropolitan Museum in New York. Tapestry 1: The Start of the Hunt. Tapestry 2: The Unicorn at the Fountain. In this scene, the hunters gather around the unicorn and watch in awe as it dips its horn into the water. Hunters w...

CastleLyons: How to Create a Coat of Arms: Part 1
http://castlelyons7.blogspot.com/2008/10/how-to-create-coat-of-arms.html
Tuesday, October 7, 2008. How to Create a Coat of Arms: Part 1. Creating coats of arms for my friends is a hobby of mine. Did you know that you can create your own even if you don't know anything about your family history? In fact, in the early medieval period, a coat of arms was unique to an individual. The symbols did not become associated with family lines until the late Renaissance. Step 1: Choose Your Symbols. Other options you can use, besides your family name, are to choose a symbol that tells som...

Thursday, October 7, 2010. Here's me playing Greensleeves on the hammered dulcimer. I actually do a longer version of this, with three verses, each one different. But since I can only film one minute at a time, this is just one of the versions. The final few notes didn't quite make it in the video. Here's me playing Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring on the hammered dulcimer. My digital camera will take only a one-minute movie, so I did a shortened version and left out the fancy middle part.

Sunday, November 22, 2009. Had fun with the grandkids this weekend making pumpkin stew. Make a beef stew, then put it in a pumpkin and bake it! Here's granddaughter cleaning out the inside of her pumpkin. Grandson washing the pumpkin seeds. Pumpkin seeds ready for roasting. Our favorite is to mix them with Worchestershire sauce and garlic powder. Pumpkin seeds are not part of the stew recipe, lol.). Grandson dredging the beef in flour. Granddaughter dropping the beef into the hot oil. Ready for the oven!

Monday, June 8, 2009. It's been a sad several weeks at our house. We lost all our fish to ich. Apparently a few people in the reefing community had the same thing happen at the same time. Don't know why. Spike, Rebo, Zootie.farewell. You were our favorites. The tank has had nothing but invertebrates since then. Just starfish, shrimp, snails, and feather dusters. The shrimp have been entertaining at times, which is nice. With no fish to clean, they eagerly jump on our hands. We've been stopping in at the ...

Saturday, August 15, 2009. Dory has been removed from quarantine and placed in the main tank. She's lovin' it! She didn't even lie down and play dead under a rock like blue hippos are known to do. She was shy at first, but in just a few minutes she was out and about, getting to know her new surroundings and her new neighbors. And she started to eat right away, which is a great sign! Here she is behind the mushroom forest. Thursday, August 13, 2009. We have a quarantine tank set up now, and Dory is spendi...
