Hey I forgot to tell you–I got a cone for my birthday and I really like it. I carry it with me everywhere. Thanks Kay!

Clematis
The clematis at Court Street is in full bloom, even though the weather is totally hideous. and because this is such a happy plant we planted one at Ebb Street on the new pergola last fall. Two weeks ago is looked on its last legs but this week, sweetly, there are two little flowers. Maybe […]
Weekend News
Wow–what a weekend. Friday was the opening of the senior art majors Show at the Hallie Ford Museum followed by a round of celebratory drinks at Pete’s. On to the beach and Susan’s birthday (at which I took no pictures). Harry & Mardy came for Easter breakfast and we walked on the windy and COLD […]
Site specific work…
Ever since last summer and my “passage of the sun project” at Project Space I, I’ve been acutely aware of cast shadows and the beauty of them. Here’s a familiar beloved profile I suddenly noticed on the wall as we were talking and I was cooking:
Cherry City Revisited
They used to call Salem the cherry city. Today I went down to look at the trees on the Mall in front of the Capitol building. Hard to describe or even photo how it feels to stand under all these flowers:
Blackfish Gallery at 30
Last night I packed my Puffs Plus and we went up to Portland to attend the gala dinner in celebration of Blackfish Gallery’s 30th anniversary. It was total fun and involved lots of art and lots of laughing, plus a few songs by Paul Missal. It was an old fashioned potluck and even had door […]

We went to the beach for a few days where it was cold and rained the whole time. I got a cold. Alas. About the only place we went was to the food store (mostly little Kenny’s in Taft) but one day went up to the Safeway in Lincoln City. They’ve redone it, and while […]
WHOA!!
The cards poured in, and every one was lovely and prescious to me. Some very nice things were said (it was almost like attending your own memorial service!!!). I appreciated the comments very much. (Maybe we don’t tell each other as often as we should how much we value each other?) But, being visual, there […]
Happy Birthday Doug!
Today (I’m writing this on 3-20 even though in blogland it’s 3-21 already) was Doug’s birthday. Through a happy accident we had lunch together on this, his 47th birthday (with our mother in attendance, and the lovely Mr. Hull). Here are my three brothers in long ago suburban Chicago: Bruce, Doug, Howard. A pretty nice […]
