Oh, I love the bluebirds too! We don't get them here at our feeders. I wonder why, because I do see them around in the summer. Yours are beautiful. No wonder you are fixated on them!
Blue Birds and Are Your Feeling Blue?
The busiest place around here are the bird feeders...they are also give us much entertainment. This one is in the front of our house and we see it out our family room window. ...and this one is attached to our kitchen window. The photo is taking though the window...we are not sure why the ba...

one thing about rain is that it encourages rust good for the rusting of patterns on muslin "diamonds" on the other hand look interestingly somewhat like spilt raindrops on a little pelt from yesterday... xox - eb.

Breezes are tickling the trees outside, and it's looking a little gray, like maybe a bumbershoot could be in order. I hope so, since I have new grass seed down, and watering is a drag.

I got stuck with the lovely older woman and the gentleman who was helping her on her way. I want someone just like him, because my old age is so looming.

Wandering About and Fun with Water
Under the apple tree in the Penn South community garden a hint of the medieval tapestry --weeds and little violets. A lovely little old lady whose companion was sweet and attentive. When I get very ancient and child-like I hope someone is just as kind to me. The fire hydrant gushes wat...

the color of time
and so, with a nudge from deb, my sun shibori continues as the season changes....just opening up the bound and knotted curtains left to sun fade in the window over the winter. and some indigo wrapped around a deck post, left a bit longer to see how light it had become. the moons will wait a...

The Tintype Workshop
Oh, what fun we had. During the first part of the class on Saturday, Sean told us about the process of making tintype photographs, the chemicals and materials involved and how to work our cameras. We sat in rapt attention, took notes, the excitement building. Then he demonstrated how to take...
Outside is calling to me, but I'm bound to commitments that keep me inside, and here I sit, instead, on the computer. In limbo.
Wonderful work. As always.
strange happenings in march
i can't help being outside now. it is still cool, even cold at night, but the transition has begun. the beginnings are always so bizarre... so i am often outdoors, on my knees in mud, looking closer. after months of snow cover, everything is rearranged and changing. march, the moon, wha...
This is a wonderful quote! I'm going to keep supposing that it won't.

Expecting Wonderful
Supposing a tree fell down, Pooh, when we were underneath it? Supposing it didn’t, said Pooh. After careful thought, Piglet was comforted by this.” A. A. Milne Have a wonderful weekend dear friends, expecting all good things…just the way you want them!
Today I saw a yard filled with little purple crocuses blooming everywhere. And I heard peepers tonight. Spring is surely just around the corner.

The Locked Door
The door to the 18th century Portuguese delegation has had the same cobwebs on it for the past ten years. It is down a narrow lane behind the battlements on the Atlantic seacoast of Essouira, Morocco. I always come back to look at it to see if anything has changed.... It never has. *
I was just going to say I could smell the air. But, I think I can hear the sounds too.
Night/Marrakesh
**** Dusk gathers in the square... and the full moon rises behind the cave of Alladin. Smoke rises from the food stands as the caleche driver waits for fares. The alleys teem with with people. They have repainted the ceiling at Dar Mimoun. *

Today, Nicole is in labor, delivering my fifth grandchild. Life is grand!

Oh the little pleasures in life: Sitting in a warm sunbeam first thing in the morning. The scent of the day's first coffee. Mmmm. Admiring the tall bouquet of pussy-willows on the dining room table. Every year, in early spring, my mother puts on her boots and winter coat and goes hunting fo...
I see fresh creative juices flowing here!
