[permaculture] Scythe Connection

I recently had a chance to look at some exquisite scythes from Peter 
Vido of the Scythe Connection 
<http://www.scytheconnection.com/index.html>. Yum! I wish I had some 
tall grass to cut to try them out immediately, but its all short and 
snow covered at the moment. When gas-powered mowing is no longer an 
option, we all had better be prepared with the best tools available.

If you have never had the occasion to use a well-made scythe you don't 
know how much fun, easy, and even meditative, it can be.

For Peter scything is a religious experience, and, judging by the videos 
of him and his kids moving through tall grass "like butter", it's easy 
to understand.

I will soon be adding his superior tools to the Pc Trading Post site, 
but until then, go to his site. They will make a gift to treasure by 
anyone who uses them.

Keith
