Actually I was just checking out the eggs. And I seen the eggs and I scooooped them up. I got most of the eggs out of one square. I only got two out of the other. And the eggs are from our own chickens.

The waffles were good
Jamond: Waffles were good.
Maurice: I had chocolate in it.
Poppa Hot Sauce, that's my nickname!
Jamond: I got nuts... Waffles were good.
Maurice: Loved the waffles. The waffles we ate.
We'd love to go there again. We liked that!
Charlie is a nice driver. He joined us on the bus.
Sweet Bridge
I like the St. John's Bridge. This is the Poppa Hot Sauce Blog. It was a nice bridge to draw. Sweet bridge. Nike hike. I like our friends, from Major Panda. They came too. Let's go again! - Maurice

There is more life in things inside than out
Patsy Blasier
The Pointing of An Arrow - 2009
It reminds me of a sea shell
And everything
It tells/shows me
That there is more life in things inside than out
I'd like to see someone like these things
And everything
I was thinking "Sea Boat"
I was thinking "The Water Lilly"
It's just like you're floating in the water
And you feel like you are swimming in a glass of water
It also reminds me of Emese
Someone that went out in the water and saved her life
She was drowning
It just popped into my head
Then it led to happy things
And she's had a handful, a bow, of red roses
("I wonder what she will say to reading this")
And the story is
To Be loved In The Sea
And there is more fish in the water than there is out

The Poet of Portland: The Photography and Poetry of Forrest Hellum-Willits
It's like the chips are going into the hole in the floor.
All the way to the floor and come right back out.
It's like eating chips off the floor.

Thanks, Stock!
Awww. Thanks, Stock and friends! We are so excited to start this project. We will start working on publishing bike and wheel chair maps to urban fruit finds, fliers, and gathering supplies. Look for invites soon!
Monday, August 9, 2010
We are in the next Stock Dinner! You should be there too.
Stock is amazing. A chance to directly support artists' visions. Join us. RSVP to portlandstock@gmail.com as soon as you can. Spaces fill up fast!
Our project:
1. Project Summary: (100 words)
ProjectGrow (www.growinginalldirections.org) is an arts and farming organization that is inspired by and celebrates everyone’s right to a meaningful life (regardless of intellectual category), the opportunity to connect with the world, the viability of art as a career choice, and the place of farming in an urban environment. We would like to start a canning project, where we seek fruit and other edible plants growing in our urban community, establish a relationship with our neighbors in order to acquire it, and together as a unified group, preserve it by canning it. This project creates community and celebrates nature.
2. How will you use the funding toward the realization of your project? (50 words)
The funding acquired from stock will allow us to gather the necessary supplies, some will be borrowed, some will be bought, and some can be rented. We’d also like to design an exhibit that will require certain materials (lighting, wood for shelves) to be shown at a gallery.
3. How will it manifest at the next Stock event? (100 words):
At the next stock event, ProjectGrow is prepared to share at least 10 jars, of jam and pickled vegetables. ProjectGrow artists will especially decorate each jar. Artists and farmers participating in the program as well as neighbors will jointly present the experience through photographs, recipes, and by sharing the ‘fruits’ of their efforts with everyone at the next Stock event.
4. Why is this project important? (100 words)
This project creates community, bringing together once institutionally segregated adults (with developmental disabilities), children of all ages who enjoy sweetness on their tongues, and neighbors isolated by our modern paradigm. We would like to celebrate the abundance of the season, shirk the excesses of our culture gathering fruit that grows in our urban neighborhood, and honor traditional preservation for the colder months, rather than shipping fruit in the winter from thousands of miles away. All this can be accomplished through a beautiful community event, of gathering fruit, coming together to jam/pickle, and through an aesthetically inspiring presentation in an exhibit.
