rain rain go away

every year, the few snow covered days memories fill up my head making me forget the reality of miserably cold rainy days. this, while waiting in the truck, hoping it would start. piper without cover fiddles under the hood. no straw bales today.

for the love of junk

there's nothing i love more than appalachian junk stores. sadly, one of my favorites, randy's odds and ends in lancaster, was closed today, but we made a grand adventure of the shoe factory and the flea market in logan with good friends. I finally found the spreading knife i've been longing for, piper bought 50 more drill bits and an angle chisel. I swooned over vintage valentines, and bought a few. Found some perfect presents that i can't wait to give and am trying to convince piper that we desperately need the 3 foot diameter solid round butcher block for our kitchen.

I love the colors of this charming croquet set. maybe some day when i have a yard, i can justify such treasures.

delicious

a lovely start to the day. roasted red pepper quiche with caramelized onions and baby swiss.

wild harvested remedy

I have a sick boy in my bed.

our daily journey

a highly traveled but not often documented trip is the daily voyage to the trimble kroger and post office. an excellent opportunity to get out of the office and get in some high knees

long winter

So I've decided to start a new blog, one just for my photography, a photo journal of sorts; in an effort to encourage myself to be photographing everyday. I suspect that I will be adding some back dated photos in the beginning.

So here it begins, the start of the thaw, or so it seems. A late afternoon trip to Spatulachia with good friends, attempting preparation of the sugaring season. Hauling of heavy things down steep hills, and watching the sunset while still watching our breath.
