It’s amazing how much there is to do around here…I had to take a blog day off yesterday, and I don’t have a lot to report today…though a few more window photos have come in: Salem: Portland: Texas D.C. Long Island I suspect you’ve all been zooming…we had two social “outings” this week that involved […]
It’s been a lonnnggg wet spring here in the northwest… but we’ve just been given a gem of a gift…a brilliant sunny warm weekend at the beach…usually a July sort of thing. No wind… lots of bike rides and bay views… LOTS of beach time with Sidney (recreating a crab) looking at where the public […]
Spring is finally here…the tree peony is opening! Certainly the queen of this garden… Live in the moment we read everywhere…and the moments delight us, amaze us, amuse us and sadden us ..which I guess is the point? The moments ARE the life? In a strange way maybe that’s what blogging is about for me…grabbing […]
I was looking at the quilts I’ve been working on since January and they look a bit, well… bland.. so I think I need to get some color into the spring work…red and white maybe? orange? Pink? or maybe revisit the nine-patches from our fall vacation? and then which rescue to go for next, once […]
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 […]
Since 1992 we’ve spent the first week of most years at the beach, where often it is sunny and bright. We slow down after the holiday rush, sleep in, walk the beach and plan the year ahead. This year the first day of the new year looked like this…
Phew…it was a race this week, but we managed. Martha and I blasted to Portland on an errand yesterday and got to PDX just as Ryan Wilson Paulsen was in the gallery and gave us some chat about his current show with his wife Anna Gray (up at PDX until November 30th). I’ve admired their […]
My friend George writes a nice blog and the other day he wrote in an email that his recent post was a bit miscellaneous…sort of a “basket full of stuff.” THIS, I thought, exactly describes my current predicament…weirdly unrelated, all sort of interesting, some nice images…okay let’s go. The weather has been beautiful here, after […]
A couple of weeks ago we visited my cousin Don who lives in Kenosha, Wisconsin, and his mom, my Auntie Pat. I couldn’t remember visiting Kenosha as a kid, though we often drove from the Chicago suburbs to Wisconsin on one of my Dad’s “drive-abouts”. Well during our visit this month, the history of Kenosha […]
