sweet smell of spring time

a flower for a friend on a rainy day. looking forward to more and more blooming

muffins for a gloomy day

Making muffins on days off, and trying to protect them from the muffin monster that resides here.

welcome spring

Upon my bike, en route to the farmers market, I caught the first glimpses of spring.

hell on wheels

maybe once in 15 years have i strapped 4 wheels on each foot. celebrating our dear friend sarah's birthday, we shared the floor with adult skate regulars. I only hope at 80 i'll still be on the rink.

all in a row

A favorite day of the year is the day the first seed goes in the ground. Small surprises in the soil- 3 purple potatoes waking up from hibernation to find their way back into rows. Peas, onions and potatoes in, and the garlic is excitedly peaking through.

voyage to marietta

a fine day of junking fruited an italian ravioli cutter, hazel atlas jelly jar with zinc lid, amazing lion ephemera, this sweet pig planter and charming tiny silhouettes.

sushine=productivity

A most productive day, 15 gallons apple wine, apple pear wine and cider bottled, 5 gal. ipa kegged, sunroof sealed, pig returned, mad dog snow cones devoured, sunshine absorbed. spring is near!

sunny afternoon

The sun decided to come back for a visit, the first time i've seen it in weeks. Relishing in the opportunity to bask in its glow, we visited the sugar shack and lake cadillac.

a winters hike

Cameras in hand and snow crunching under our feet, a winters hike in rhododendron cove this afternoon was a much needed treat. Traveling in high style, only the finest meats and local cheeses will satiate our hunger. Good friends not often seen, in a place not often traversed.
