I keep waiting for a coherent body of photos, events, thoughts to surface (other than the car wash)…to no avail. I guess the life I’m leading is chaotic these days, so lets go anyway…we left the car wash and headed east …first stop Edgefield, a destination spot in a former poor farm…odd but true, and […]
That’s what I always think the 4th of July is, the heart of the summer, the time of blueberries and peaches…even though there are still three more months ahead and only one behind…(too many years on the academic schedule I guess.) And for us the 4th of July means the beach…this year like most of […]
The work of a Salem group of women artists has been up at the Compass Gallery this month…me, Katy Viegland, Kathy Shen, Nancy Eng, Tory Brokenshire and Dayna Collins. We get together monthly, often to make work, sometimes for a brief road trip. A couple of times every year we “retreat” for four or so […]
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 […]
Wasn’t that nice?? I just loved the whole week nothing at all to do…well, stuff to do for sure, but without the need to FOCUS…as I’m always reminding myself to do. When we got to the beach I noted some of the poems that arrive occasionally on the fridge… so we took it to heart…two […]
We had a new fence built this week, between our house and the house-of-constant-renters…maybe you remember how it looked the summer before last..here…so we zoomed over to take a look…it’s good! It poured and blew and sheeted down on Saturday… but today dawned sunny and clear and perfect for getting out the sweet old bikes…wedding […]
It rained today. As my friend Ellen put it, about waking up to a recent rainy Vermont day “…it seemed an invitation to a Reading Day. I accepted.” Ahhh… I think my life to be pretty full and fun…making things, seeing things, good work to do, interesting people, lots of art, a supportive family, beautiful […]
We had to leave the beach today… but when we got to the highway it was (as Doug would say) “a parking lot.” As we inched north we decided to take the “secret” shortcut…(I trust you not to tell anyone), (YAY…it was raining!) and head up Schooner Creek… When we got the beach house years […]
In our two plus weeks at the beach I rode my bike around our neighborhood, Cutler City, several times a day. Sometimes I had my camera and took pictures of my favorite small cottages, the “old” Cutler City….little cottages for fishermen built on the sand. Many many of these are gone and some (like ours) […]
We just came home from two splendid weeks away at the beach house, (no media, no blogging), and one whole week Sidney was there too… We noticed he is a guy on the move…. But there were quiet moments…a quick Elmo video while breakfast was cooking… LOTS of reading, including this one from 1974 […]
