Wednesday on Whidbey

...on Thursday! Oops!

the lingering fruits of fall...

Sorry--missed last Wednesday completely! Hope a Happy Thanksgiving was had by all. We had several days of great family time, too much great food, & not much time at a computer! The final quarter crunch is under way at school & time is flying.
More soon....

Reember those cool colors a few weeks ago?
Well here's what comes next!

Now For Something (almost) Completely Different...

Jim & I are both participating in a December event:
Made Right on Whidbey (check it out!).
That's a first for us--both together. Jim's done many similar events: show/sales, studio tours, etc. I feel kinda like the little kid that gets asked to sit at the grown-up's table--but it's been a good experience for me (so far...). Makes me stretch...

After the December week-end has come & gone--I'll let you know how it went!

Isn't birch bark cool?!

Trick or Treat!

Happy Halloween!

Just back from retreat--so much fun & got a lot done. 

More to share later..

Take Home Delights

Just had to leave a post for Friday, 'cause it's CSA day!

Well, the CSA season is drawing to a close--but once again, we're fans of the wonderful Friday collections!

It was still a good idea that we split a share with another family--that way we get a variety of goodness every other week. We did much better at using all our bounty--but it was still a challenge. So here is just a tiny sample of last week's take home...

 Aren't these purple potatoes a surprise? There's a reason the skin looks so dark...!

 Despite my poor focus, you can still appreciate the color of these great bouquets! A salute to fall...

I Can't Wait!

aaahhhhh.....I have one more class to teach this morning and then...I'm off to my semi-annual Warm Beach retreat with all of the usual suspects!
It's like an addiction!  The closer it gets to the departure time, the more anxious & agitated I become!
After all this time, it's still so much fuuuuuuuunn..........

this is the 'pack everything but the kitchen sink' retreat!

The coordinator (bless her soul for doing this for us twice a year) asked my roomie Kate & me I if we might want to change roommates this fall. She did it quite tactfully--albeit a bit awkwardly. Kate & I just looked at each other & burst out laughing! We've become a couple of old crones--what would be do with a different room mate?!
