This was bought during one of my lasts trips to Montreal; it is a mix of cellulose and clay. I tried mixing it with more or less water to see how it turns out once dry, which should take about 24 hours. I heard that it can be sanded and painted, can\u2019t wait to play with it!<\/p>\n<p>The inspiration behind the title of this post: the album <em>Adventures in your own backyard<\/em> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.adventuresinyourownbackyard.com\/\">Patrick Watson<\/a>).

The stories of mister Morasse* are delightful and so is the relationship between him and P. Watson. To all of you who saw that impromptu show near the train tracks: I am so jealous!<br \/>\n<em>*Morasse poutine (fast food) is kind of an institution in Rouyn-Noranda.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5e0i3f3TO6A?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cauliflowers are getting bigger and &#8220;pinker&#8221;.
