Glorious ruby red beads decorate our Korean Ash in today's light-

sat morning o'er the Peconic

Ah! The best time of day on our back deck, overlooking the quiet scene on the Peconic River, sun breaking through the oak branches, in my chartreuse flamingo print pj's, coffee (and camera) in hand...

Our goal this summer has been to make sure every paintable exterior surface is layered with a fresh coat of driftwood grey! I know, quite an inspiring color. I feel like we've been working on the Intrepid since June. So I'm savoring the last horizontal, ungrey surface before the painting maniac returns and the paint brushes come out.

Just enjoy your coffee on my deck---we have plenty of room for more tables and umbrellas on this soon-to-be all grey deck!

fog and snow at 8am

still winter

Oh. Yes it's still January. The temperature is going to drop in the next couple of days, after another coating of snow falls. The ground is covered with a combo of ice and slush already. I was compelled to take the camera and the tripod out again to play with the macro option. Getting better.



Now that I've done that I can get back to sewing. Will not be inclined to leave the house, so sewing can be accomplished! Log production resumes.

perfect weather

Felled by tendonitis at the most inopportune time ...the weather is perfect for doing tendon-inflaming things like knitting (any weight yarn with any size needle), sewing (on the sewing machine) and finishing all those fiber gifts (YIKES!)!

But I can work the oven and the camera, so all is not lost. Behold winter wonderland.
