Biela's Comet: Twin Comets

I am putting together a Baha'i childrens lesson right now for our class laster on today and I really got into the research of it. Most people know the story of Christ's Birth, how there was a special star that lead the Wise Men. Well, there is a similar parallel in the Baha'i Faith and I wanted to find the facts about it. In the Baha'i Faith, there were twin messengers/prophets (Manifestiations) of God; The Bab and Baha'u'llah. The Bab's mission came first..similar to John the Baptist, His role was to open the "gate" to the Promised One. At this time there was a comet, Biela's comet and at the time when Baha'u'llah began His mission, the comet split in two. Here is Willam Sears' account of it from his book, Thief in the Night: . In 1845 a comet appeared soon after the one in 1843. It was called Rela's Comet. It seemed to be an ordinary comet, in a year in which some 300 comets had appeared, and it had appeared many ti

DIY Kiwi Arbor

For a couple of years, I have wanted to grow kiwi and to build an arbor for them to grow. This Spring, it developed into a plan, but at first I did not know what kind of arbor to make. At one point, I had an idea of an elaborate arbor that doubled as a tire swing for the kids, but such a project would have been quite consuming, and someone mentioned that the kiwi might attract bees, so having an arbor doubling as a rigorous play area, might not be the wisest choice. Swinging around might upset the bees and cause many stings. There are many things to consider in beginning a project. Where to place it; how to design it. We decided that simple was best. My neighbor has a beautiful tall arbor with at least 6 to 8 posts; and her kiwi is very tall and expanded. Our yard is much smaller; and I did not want to have to stand on a ladder that tall to harvest and prune kiwi. Hence, we have a short 2 posted arbor. For the past couple of months, I've been looking at and studyi

Beginner Sewing and Knitting: Taking back the skillz

Here is my first apron that I just finished about a week ago. In part of my journey towards a sustainable lifestyle, I am determined to learn some of the skills that have been on my bucket list for years! I have always enjoyed crafting..As a child/youth, I made many a latch hooking, as a teen and college student, I got into oil painting, but I always wanted to know how to knit and sew. In 6th grade I took a home ec class and briefly learned to use a sewing machine, but didn't pursue it, because I thought it was not the "college track"--Even though, I enjoyed it, I did not think it was a class "worthy" of the track towards "success" and "being college educated". (what a snob I was)--and I really wasn't a snob.. especially in junior high..I was kind of shy and nerdy and not in the hip group..but I was a popular wanna-be-for sure! I did not always have the backbone or confidence to stand by and trust what I felt was right either-ba
