big boomers and tomatoes

no art to share but.....

we've been having big storms here.

tomatoes are ripe for the eating and so is the corn.  we are living in Michigan farmland and reaping the benefits.

there are vegetable stands on the road - the kind where they are stocked with all sorts of things - tomatoes, corn, zucchini, squash, peppers, onions...... and a jar for payment.  gotta love the trust!

Lyme disease stuck here - those are some nasty ticks in the grass.  Luckily meds are taking care of the rash and fatigue.  And, as a result, the delay in ordering wood was a good thing - the price came way down!

always look for something good, right?



I have to stop myself from collecting again....but come on, a broken heart?
a stone split at new growth? an interesting pattern?  a sign of things to come?


and still can't beat the view from our chairs.


freighters off the shoreline, fishing boats dotting the horizon...


and a tool we never thought we would need again.. Hah!

brrr....

 so this is what I was expecting all summer up north:  waking up to temps in the 50's, sunny skies and the hi temp 74 later today.

what was I thinking???

it is a beautiful day here in Au Gres.


have you seen the new Holiday papers by Prima?  

How about simple stories:  cozy days?

Or any of their "Vintage" lines?  Lemon Twist is a fun collection, too.


My shopping cart is getting pretty full this week - almost time to place that order!
