Some left-over shots that didn’t fit in any summer post, but which I liked anyway…starting with this REAL view from Irene and Jack’s terrace viewing west: (and look at this very slick way of blocking the western sun…just move the reed screen on the track…voila!) Ivy having it’s way with our house: Ginny & Gretchen […]

BRRRRR…
Which seems like a silly thing to say in mid-August. Escaping the heat in the valley was successful, but now we’re wearing three sweaters and shivering. Our bike ride after dinner through the quiet streets revealed one basketball player, and a deer. The bay was beautiful this evening after a day of hard work back […]
The Rubber Duckie Caper
This spring we had break-in at the beach house. It was a pretty idiosyncratic burglar who stole strange things. One thing the fiend took though was ALL of our rubber duckies. It has been a well-known tragedy among our familiars. So Sunday morning when I looked out the kitchen window here’s what I saw: 12 […]

Quilting Time…
Well the Seattle quilters stopped by briefly on their way to Sisters for the big week of classes and the quilt show…just to say hi since I’m not going with them this year but quilting is the week’s activity for me too. After a quick visit to the carwash (I LOVE the carwash) I took […]
