little clothes on the line. be still my heart.

we've moved our sleeping room into the "living room". we are going to work on insulating/renovating the old bedroom, as well as the upstairs. it's pretty wonderful being in a more finished room and very nice being closer to the wood stove...the kitties sure aren't complaining!

i love their pretty feathers.

these photos were taken recently, but i'm a bit late to post. the trees are practically bare at this point, though there is still a lingering glow on the ground.

our first egg from the ladies!

beautiful evening light.

driving home the other day i had to stop—i love these crazy, wild turkeys.

kitties are loving this green blanket.

more from PA. so many amazing murals!

finally! photos from phillie.
muffin took kitty and i to so many great spots! we ate yummy canoli, saw a ghost ship, and went to the farmer's market. we stopped by the library where she works to see some of the exhibits she helped put together. by the evenings we were pretty zonked, so we rented movies and nestled inside her cute studio apartment. wish i had taken pictures of your place, muffin! it is a wonderful place.

here's our new ceiling fan. deluxe! i can't believe how much it helps in moving around the heat from the wood stove. todd continues to work hard around here. there's always something to do.

i'm off to Phillie to see Muffin! so excited.

i've been replaced with a planter! we had frost the other night so i brought my planters inside. oliver usually snuggles with me at night, but last night i caught him in with my geraniums. i can't say that i blame him--it's the only bit of outdoors he's able to interact with.
and, maybe this is a good time to mention the wall paper. taking it down has been low on our priority list, but i think it will be the perfect project for the fall. catherine kitty has already helped us paint the cabinets. (blue, will show soon).
oh, happy progress.

bought a couple items at the good will—vintage skirt, a stripe shirt and a L.L. Bean hat...about 10 bucks. man, it's getting expensive to shop thrifty!

toddie and i went to a wedding on Long Island (Maine) last weekend. a misty day by the ocean—so romantic.

this is from a little while ago. kitty and i had some lobsters. i also made potato salad. super yum.

the ladies lovin' their free range time.

a small harvest this year, but we are happy for it all the same.

maine magazine is the newly renovated port city life magazine. great articles, photography and art direction (jennifer muller!).
