This past Sunday morning when I arrived at the station about 5:45, I was greeted by two hooting owls talking to each other. They sounded so sweet in the soft morning air! We are lucky to have a bank of mature oak trees in our back yard. Lots of critters make their home there. I’ve […]

What the heck is a doot, you ask? Nuts, dark chocolate chunks, cherries, and coconut all snugged up in a little compostable wrapper. No gluten and no preservatives! It’s my own creation and it’s not a cookie, scone, tart, brownie, bar, doughnut, bicsuit, cracker, pastry, or cake, so I made up my own name. It […]

Good news for art lovers! Sprout, the gallery in Cambridge that carries my paintings and jewelry, has moved into a space six times as large as it used to be. Jesse, the new owner, has made the commitment to really use the space to showcase the many artists who dwell here. Cambridge is always a […]

Now that it is officially summer, here is my recommendation for a picnic, boat trip, boat trip or just a nice walk under the canopy of old trees. It’s the beach at Stewart Lake Park near Mt. Horeb (pictured here), and it’s good for the soul. Mt. Horeb has fun shopping, and several really good […]

I have been clearing out things I have had under my bed these past years, and have come upon some mighty fine memories. My son, Gregg, is in this picture of his Oregon baseball team. (He’s third from the left.) It was taken all the way back in 1992, and it really made me pause […]

I have been working with flowers, on and off, since I was 18. White flowers are a small passion of mine. There is something wonderful about lines and form and shades of green that appeals to the designer in me. Don’t get me wrong, I love colors too, but white flowers make my heart thump. […]

I have found that naming things, especially cars, is just part of the writer in me. My first car was a VW Beetle and his name was Greg. I had a big old station wagon I called Rita. My aunt drove old Rambler that she called Urge, which really suited it. My first new car […]
