(leaving out all politics…). After a stormy beach weekend we returned Monday to the chaos of home renovation…the week brought a new floor, paint, and the shower tile going in…here are the visuals: Friday I took a break and headed over to pick up Jon and Irene and head out for lunch to the MIG […]

Week’s Worth
Not a momentous week, but like most of our weeks, filled with the lovely variety of things that make our lives…here’s what I’ve been up to: Check this out people…every Tuesday in May conservationist Tom Fuller will be working on the Hallie Ford Museum of Art’s native basket collection in the lobby so you can […]
Friday Follow Up
First and foremost, I made a mistake on the location of Rochelle and Nate Rafn’s new restaurant. It will open early in June at 479 Court (next door to Olson’s Florist)…(that used to be Quizno’s sandwich shop…) Thanks to my neighbor Jason Heimerdinger and David at the Statesman Journal, disaster was averted…because if you went […]
Queen of the Garden
I’m not posting much on the garden this year, though it is beautiful..BUT…the tree peony deserves a post EVERY year…and with all the warm weather this week she’s just about to burst open…
Garden Love…
There’s a moment in the spring garden where everything looks neat and tidy, beautiful, organized…and this week is it. You know, just before it all gets wild and overgrown and crazy. Bill was here to help us tidy up and it just looks beautiful to me today ( “Of course my baby is the […]
A Room of Our Own…
A deal has been arranged, and we moved into “our” room at Z & A’s… Due to art research and occasional fun (…we only allow ourselves OCCASIONAL fun…) we were needing a landing spot in Portland…and now we have one. By “moved in” I really mean we brought some art and a lamp or two…they […]
Postscript: The Dogwood
You may remember we recently lost our old dogwood tree…but my birthday present was the planting of a new tree!!! Here’s the old tree… …and the white flag marking the spot where the new tree was to go… OF COURSE there was a problem…the boxwood hedge… which Felix said would have to go…we said nope. […]
Goodbye to a lovely old friend….
“Back in the day…” (1930 let’s say) our yard looked like this (the houses belonged to our neighbors) and when we bought the house in 1980 it looked like this…(and the red house is ours) and now it looks like this…with this addition to the rear of the house from 1995… and in the east […]
A swirl of a day…
Posting on blogs late at night is probably like writing emails when you’re mad…it shouldn’t be done…tired, all the events of the day swirling…too tired to edit… caught in a maelstrom of stitches… roaring off to bed…
Rolling into 2013…
The first day of the new year began as many days do…with a few chores… and though I couldn’t help much I DID notice how pretty the clean glasses looked in the kitchen… so we decided since the sun was shining we’d “roll” through Cutler City this morning to see what was afoot in the […]
