• Miss Lucy loves cauliflower leaves. Pablocito stole one from her and is running around with it in his mouth, growling. He is too manic for me to get a photo.


    I’m trying to concentrate on house cleaning this weekend, so here’s a selfie with Theo before I get back to work.

  • Working on this project that is over two years old now.

    Frosty yarrow and fallen leaves.


  • Flounder roulade with oyster stuffing and roasted brussels sprouts at Josephine’s Bistro. YUM.

    I’m trying to find the owners of this beautiful friendly older kitten. S/he likes to follow people and play and it is very cold outside. I feel pretty sure that s/he belongs to a neighbor but when you live near a college campus at the end of a semester, you never know whether a pet has been abandoned. I’ve seen this cat twice, and I worry about her safety.


  • The kittens don’t get ALL the attention. My little sweet potato lays on all my stuff so I have to notice him. (He still gets lots of love.)


    Finally, an ice photo.


  • Stitching little bird tracks on the farm scroll. I dye my silk thread by wrapping it around fabric bundles. The yellow thread was dyed with broomsedge, and the brown thread was dyed with black walnut hulls.

    The steam plant at UNCG.

  • Love making stews and soups during cold weather!

    On my walk to work.

  • I have wearied of waiting for the icicle photo and will settle for “it’s warm and cozy inside and cold and rainy outside.”


  • Anna serves up the goodies at the Zaytoon table at the Greensboro Farmers Curb Market. I bought some yummy spreads and pita bread from her for the department potluck tonight.

    Now that the Lenten roses I transplanted to the front yard have settled in, they are putting out new growth. Just in time for the ice storm tomorrow. But they will tough it out.

  • Another favorite tree, one that clings to its leaves much longer than the others, but by the end of the windy day it had lost about half of these.

    I work on a lovely university campus. The building I work in is on the left. Sandy went to school in the building on the right back in the late 60s/early 70s. It recently has been renovated and they did a great job with preserving its character.

  • Yay! Found my camera just before bedtime, in a perfectly logical place. Not in time for new photos, though.

    So here’s another book with a clay cover, inspired by the stones and cairns at Newgrange near Dublin, Ireland.

    Pablocito nursing his blanket.
