green is my valley 02.27.11


no matter how gray things get


plants emerge



grass greens up

and the sunshine returns

friend 02.23.11




A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, 
and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words. - unknown


thank you for the lovely gift - just the lift I needed

(morse for love)

upcycle 02.15.11


Gapetto and I noticed a dumpster in front of the largest house 
in our neighborhood the other morning

it definitely was worthy of a second look

I didn't remember until 5 pm so I hopped in the car and went back

what a find - a Bernhardt dining room table 
with a double pedestal base

the top had water damage (and I don't need a dining room table)

but the bases were beautiful and connected 
by an unfinished top that the main top attached to

the entire piece weighed about nine million fifty four pounds 
so I went back and recruited Gapetto to help me load it up



isn't the wood beautiful?



they are now cut apart and make lovely bedside tables
so grown up

I haven't decided how I will top them yet
there are round holes for the hardware that attach 
the legs to the top

don't you love them?

wishes 02.10.11


it snowed some overnight
compared to the total shutdown of the Deep South
this snow elicited no response


forgotten sled




 when I posted this
this is not what I had in mind

doors 02.09.11


working on the original doors 
of our 1925 bungalow




these doors have witnessed much
no paint has touched them
there is beauty in the nicks and gouges
reminders of those who have passed through them
lightly sand and varnish coat

the brass and crystal I do not polish
the patina much more beautiful
than anything new

Solvitur ambulando 03.03.11


we went on our Oakurst walk a little while ago
we talk about plans - plot the future

(as if we can...)




an unplanned pit stop
where is he?



there he is!



the first house going up on your old lot


the only constant is change

guaranteed sunshine when she wakes up a little more

Sunshine in my kitchen 02.1.11


another rainy morning
today it's okay because there are moments 
when I actually SEE what I have



a sunny kitchen (even on a rainy day)




coffee already made
Gapetto working at home the rest of the week
nice to have him here



another pot to make
the pretty glass container you gave me for the beans

it's going to be a good day...
