sneak peeks...!

(first test run with a new process - stay tuned for more...)

pretty soon...

this squirrel will run out of nuts,


these trees will be completely bare,


and this mess will be gone!
(to be fair, the camera could point in any direction and find a mess here...but that's all gonna change!)

late August morning

August morning

one last encore from the phlox:

terror of the lawn, ever on the hunt:



this year's veg garden: acorn squash, zucchini, tomatoes, beets, peppers, broccoli, Swiss chard, eggplant, basil

open windows!!!

blue morning, blue day

cold & quiet

if you come to visit me, you can stop here for a snack on your way up the stairs

28°F at 7:14am

first hard frost of the season

looking out the back of the barn:

nine geranium plants will live in the studio for the winter -
nice to have their continuing cheery color

and this is what I'll be sweeping all season:

frills

pretty pretty days

the medley of colors outside is perfect right now -- every time I stepped outside today I wanted to grab the camera

loving having the lawn mowed again!


a moody weather day

(yeah, that's right: it's a coffee carafe)

shadows on the floor behind my desk, cast by the flowers sitting on the windowsill overlooking our road...
