Home Treasures

Just keeping my hand in.  Treasures from around here, and a project I'm trying out

I have been missing my camera!  It's just been so very busy around here...

Where Have I Been???

It's been such a long time! I've never gone this long and the story is too long to tell. Suffice it to say things have changed and are now beginning to settle into getting back to the new normal. Same house. Same camera...and me.  I want to make a push to post regularly again, at least weekly.  I will try...if anyone is left who checks in.

I've been reading, here are some of the titles:

Spirals in Time
The Narrow Edge
Lisette's List (again)
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (again)
When Books Went to War
Prisoners of Geography
and currently:
Hamilton (on going)
Americans in Paris (on going)
Horseshoe Crabs and Velvet Worms (on going)

The garden is in full swing with peas, onions, garlic, carrots, potatoes, beans, asparagus, cabbages, and assorted herbs.

That's the mercifully short version of life around here.  Oh and there's always knitting, just not as much...

January Landscape

I have been starting up with a new job and haven't been out with the camera much lately.  So, the other day I took a short trip over to the Fort Ord National Monument to check out the light near sunset.  The clouds actually darkened most of the scenery, but I was able to catch some silhouettes of these branches.

Holiday Afters

The holidays have come and gone...though we haven't had Epiphany yet.  But the get togethers, the greetings, the sendings, the wrappings, the cooking and baking are behind us for this season.  Time to rest, review, and recover.

Whoa! Clouds!

Clouds like this are still a rarity around here.  I see a rider on a serpent riding toward the sun. What do you see?

A Peck of Peppers

Had to pick the peck of peppers.  I love my  garden!

New Skills

Christmas baking is underway and this house smells like gingerbread.  This is my first foray into rolled and cut cookies as well as (gulp) attempting to decorate them.  Practice with Royal icing is about to commence.  Thankfully these cookies are destined to be ornaments and not edibles.

It's always good to learn new skills.

Speaking of new skills, my two portfolios; Abitazione and Farms and Barns are going on sale this weekend at the Carmel Visual Arts Center in, well, Carmel.  These portfolios are sets of small to tiny photos contained in the above boxes.  It doesn't matter if they sell or not, I'm enjoying working on expanding the portfolios.  I've fallen intrigued with the small photo collection in a box format and will continue with these cherish-able photo findings.
