A special day

Thank you Saint Dymphna.

Farm Art

I've given up on growing tomatoes. The leaves always get spotty and rot no matter what I do. So! The teenager and I are turning the wire cones into armatures for a pair of tree shaped sculptures. Collaboration! We need a pair of bases, plywood squares or something.

Back on the Farm

(On the parking lot). It's been a very cool spring so far. The seedlings I sprouted aren't liking it, but the Habaneros from the nursery are a lot more established. Yesterday was spent raking, clearing out the pots and filling them with mixed planting media-old dirt with wormy goodness, compost and new bagged garden soil. I also fired up the smoker. Jerk chicken, a ready made marinated pork loin (on sale!) and a cute little dry rubbed brisket came out after four hours slow cooked to tender perfection. Yum! Leftovers!

I wish I were staying longer.

DPW conduit access

Blackberry Lane

The concrete was made long ago

with oyster shells

(tabby), rough underfoot

as I pass wrought iron gates

overgrown

by flowering vines

between the hidden stair cases

and gardens fragrant with

boxwood and basil.

I hear songbirds in the shade

and through open windows,

lessons practiced on real pianos

in large plastered rooms.

Cutlery clinks on heavy china.

Here and there

beside the recycling bins

you may find

barely worn shoes lined up

neatly on a retaining wall,

a porcelain lamp or a teak end table.

Once I scored

a box of picture frames with glass and wire

two weeks before my show.

There I lurk in the lane

collecting chairs

by the side of the road.

Grazing through the weekend

A bit of lamb shank, some white bean and tarragon cous cous. Hearts of palm and artichoke salad on baby spinach. Seafood bisque with toast points, mushroom caps with blue cheese and bacon. Pear almond tarts! Petite fours!

Let's have a show!

Much of last evening was spent switching out the Iphone art with Lucky Cats woodprint/collages in a set of ready made frames with new mattes. It's like stepping back a thousand years, tech wise. And they look really good. Today I delivered them to the Adler Gallery. Maybe I'll get lucky.
