And by that I mean the verb, not the noun. I consider it one of the real privileges I have to tag along with R when he’s off to interview an artist (future interviewees–I don’t always go, only sometimes.)…we smile and chat, he goes into to interview mode and I look and look. All good. […]

The Proofs Arrive!
Lately it has been like this, wet and gray, day in-day out: But this morning, when we headed out very early (by our standards…) it was gorgeous…I just couldn’t stop snapping pictures as an unknown orb edged over the horizon… and then, when we got home…THE PROOFS CAME!

Goodbye February
Well busy, yep, but sick…that nasty chest cold stuff going around. We retreated to the beach where we could cough in unison, we discovered…and be restored… We even got well enough to do a little pruning…the wisteria for instance… no need to cut the rosemary back…the fence guy took care of that… all that’s left…for […]
