Soon....

This will be me in Vermont on Friday. 

I'm going to sit by the fire drinking wine/scotch with my parents, counting bats at dusk, and watching stars...

after a day of searching for rustic cutting boards at the thrift stores to bring home and replace the chipped plastic ones we've had for years.

I will snuggle with the kitties and walk with them in the woods ...

while I check on the band-saw sculptures I made two years ago and hung from the trees. 

Boots and sweaters are packed; envelopes ready to stuff with fall leaves; I'm ready to catch my red- eye tonight, and wake up in crisp fall.

Moon sighting

The moon has been stunning lately, and I snapped this picture of it out my back door a few weeks ago, just as it was lining up with Venus.  The moment passed quickly, as I stepped out a few minutes later and both had shifted. 

This brooch is almost as beautiful as the real thing.

Dream truck

Hello, 1971 celadon Datsun.
