grant writing

has sucked out my soul. Back in a day or so.

the last four books i read

This winter my reading has slowed down. Outside of The Human Stain (mind blowingly excellent) the other books have been lighter which is good for the dark short days of winter. But now I’ve got a long list of titles ahead of me to tackle for the spring, I start a new book tomorrow.

Drama in rentersville. I want my own home. (via Fey)

american modern

I love Russel Wright’s designs. I remember my sister doing a report on him for school and showing us slides of his pottery. You can buy these lovely recreations at Bauer Pottery.

get things done day

It’s a rainy day and it’s hard to complain after the many days of sunshine we had. Our stove is back on and it’s toasty in my studio. I’m going to use this day – my last day of spring break – to get things done. (Via Kecky)

happy glorious first day of spring!

We drove on windy back roads through quaint small towns, took a walk through fields near the ocean and had a cook out at home on the deck by the river. ps. new spring goal; take more photographs. pps. canoe trip postponed as Julian hurt his arm, but something to look forward too…
