Zeldapedia

As most of you know, The Legend of Zelda is my favorite game, well I have found this really cool site called (hence the name) Zeldapideia. It is an encyclopedia of The Legend of Zelda. It has in depth articles on things that aren't in the games. It is nice, very nice. I have leaned more about Zelda in 5 days than in my inter career as a fan.

I have a store of know-how now I hope this comes in handy some time,  probably not but you never know. See-ya (well I won't see you but you know what I mean.) P.S. My favorite games are The Orcarina of Time and The Wind Waker

Silkworms

For many, many years silk has been a very very popular cloth. So popular Europeans, including Marco Polo, traveled from Europe though desert and mountains to get to China, the home of the silk worm.

The silk worm has been so heavily domesticated there are no wild ones left, and the domesticated ones could not survive 1 day in the wild. The silkworm's cocoon has 1500-3000 feet of raw silk. The silk worm prefer the leaves of the white mulberry tree, but will also eat the leaves of the tree of heaven.  The ancient Chinese kept the silkworm a secret for over 3000 years! 

Silk manufacturing is very complicated first the silk is unwound, then it is braided to make it strong enough to handle, it is then steamed, and dried. Silk threads are different sizes small for sewing and big for weaving.

Every way you look at it silkworms are amazing creatures!

The Hero of Time

I have posted about Legend of Zelda before. Now a movie called the hero of time is coming out! I can't wait to see it!

Thanksgiving

Now that Thanksgiving is over we can now lay down and cross off the days until Christmas. Wait! What did I do this holiday season, you say? Well nothing much just had a heck of a lot of people over, ate till our stomachs burst, played games, and made cookies.

We got our Christmas tree on Saturday.  It was lots of fun even though the place is about 50 miles away. We always get a live tree. Do you? Decorating was also fun. I made a paper chain today. Can't wait for Christmas!
