wood and kites

My husband is being very creative- he started to carve wooden spoons- he probably has made already around a dozen and is improving fast- the last ones turned our very nice. I especially like the reddish one from an Eucalyptus tree he fell by himself. Below some more cutting boards he made. I am replacing the plastic ones we had so far and they also make nice presents.

He just loves to work with wood and I love to watch him work and to see him being so enthusiastic about something. :-)

It is also kite flying time. The annual kite-flying day in the kibbutz was a success. Usually we create our own kites some days before- this year was the first time the kibbutz offered kite-building kits beside the traditional material. Those kites flew so good that we created 2 more at home with the same pattern. My husband also made a traditional one that flew very good.

Since the "official" kite-flying-day we went several more days to fly our kites and I want to go again on the weekend. It is a very nice thing to do- somehow relaxing :-)

They are building a new neighbourhood and the wind is very good there. (That's why it looks like a building site)
