a little rain


We've been waiting two months for rain around these parts. Two months that included March -- the first bone dry March on record -- and all of April. The water began falling last night around dinnertime, and even though the temperature dropped with it I opened a window in every room, and the six year-old headed out for an hour of puddle jumping in the gutter.

Something about the smell of rain in the spring, rain in the drylands, rain on new leaves. Irresistible.



The garden, for the most part is in, the peas are up, and the radishes, as always, are excessive.

Next project: Something to make these chairs from the neighbors slightly more comfortable. Cushions? Re-webbing? Hmmmm.

And to a girl who knows how to accessorize a hike like nobody's business.

visual obsessions: more roadtripping


I am amazed at how the same drive can look so different; every time we trek from Colorado through Wyoming and into Utah, I come away with a few hundred too many pictures.

So many wide open spaces, so many tight little vistas.

reunited, and it feels so good

My camera came home yesterday, and hasn't been out of my hands much since. Funny how much of a difference a little hunk of metal and mirrors can make in one's life, in the way one sees life. I swear there are more birds out today, and that I actually could smell the musty dirt of early spring driving home this morning. Even with the windows up.

So happy to have you back.
