The round woodpile is bigger this year, we got better at it, one big pile. And under the deck is also full. I almost wanted to build a fire this morning… the chill is delicious though. I chose two robes instead. I want to make a wool robe. I think I will. Actually a robe for each season sounds good. But then, by combining two robes, well that works too, and there is less. And more when needed. If I […]

I can say we got enough rain. It is cool and damp and these are new to me. New is good at the moment, I have slipped into a strange kind of boredom. It took months but the porch ceiling is finally painted, we don’t care about fancy or neat, could have left the plywood bare, but this makes it lighter, softly. It was hard work at our age, gosh I can feel it. Tape comes off later today. I […]

A. A is for Alphabet. When I worked in the textile industry, I began as a handweaver, weaving samples. Samples were necessary to show customers what pattern changes would look like.
