This morning’s walk took me further, beyond my usual route, ending up with my feet in the mud at the edge of the shore. There I could feel the energy of a storm just gone through the east, lapping in the heavy wake. My west coast people are concerned for me in these storms. I […]
Over a week ago the sun was ducked behind the storm named Sandy. One week ago I was waiting for what was to come, after having prepared for it to the best of my ability. Bottled water, food, water in the bathtub, flashlight batteries, etc. This area was not touched by the storm as drastically […]
Working at Keuka Lake Vineyard (KLV). Today there was the most incredible rainbow coming out of a cloud and just touching the KLV which is also on the other side of the lake. It was most spectacular in real life. Wish you all could have been there.
This post was originally titled “Autumn”. I am still here and still I’m in awe at the transformation. Daily I notice how incredible change is. It is subtle and powerful. It is snowing. October 2, 2012 Keuka Lake, NY October 9, 2012 Keuka Lake, NY October 18, 2012 Keuka Lake, NY October 19, 2012 […]
Often the reflection on the lake is more believable than the physical sky and surroundings. The actual clouds and hills seems so dense and far, while the reflection pulls my attention right to it. Possibility and depth rippling on the surface. What lurks?
Stretching my sewing tape end to end on one side of the kitchen, and adding a foot to the other, makes my kitchen 5′ x 6′. It works fine. Two burners, tiny fridge, tiny sink. The sun streams in. The white reflects the brightness of the day. I was going to leave it […]
Hanging my legs over the end of the dock, feet dangling in the water, I hear a young voice, “I need to get my feet into that lake! I JUST need to do this!”. Mom, dad, sister, and grandma are the audience, seeming to roll their eyes at maybe a common type of drama… and […]
This morning the sun hits my latest work sitting in the window and I am reminded of some of the glass in my past. Broken windshields at the dump. Sifting up the glass and letting it pour out of our palms slowly to the ground, eerily saying, “Jeeeewwwwweeelllllllsss” like pirates at a treasure chest. Beach glass […]
6:45 a.m. every morning sounds a horn. The same again at 7, 7:45, 8:00, noon, 1:00, 5:00, and then FINALLY at 6:00. The sound comes from this tower smack dab in the center of Corning, NY. They have named the tower “Little Joe”, tall, white, with a glass blower’s silhouette painted on the 4 sides. […]
In April I was asked what my hesitations were about doing a job I was being interviewed for-? Emphatic and over reacting to the question, I responded with “LACK OF MY OWN MY CREATIVITY!” ….. and then……with about just as much gusto as my response to NOT wanting it….. I accepted the job when it […]
