Timeout: Father’s Day
the fencing saga continues
No drama, just saga. We have been working on the fence as we have time. We’ve decided to make the north and south sides of the garden fence solid. Dwight has some salvaged corrugated metal that we have primed and painted. Dad and Dwight did all the priming; Dad and I have been painting during the heat of the day. The panels are approximately 6′ tall.
Happy Mother’s Day
Mom’s best rhubarb pie–ever!
grilled chicken and oven-roasted asparagus . . . pizza!
Donn, a colleague from work, gave me an incredible bunch of fresh asparagus. I oven-roasted it for the first meal, and then I made a pizza with the rest of it–added in some grilled chicken and Fontina and white cheddar cheese. Oh, I also simmered some tomato sauce on the stove for four hours. Plus, I used some of my Tartine Country White bread dough from the freezer. It was a wee bit too crusty for this particular app! Another memorable Sunday supper. (It was difficult to eat! Plus, we had to call up Dwight’s excavating skills in order to extricate the pizza from the pan!!!!)
Friday night lights
Look at the tomatoes that Mom and Dad have raised! They are amazing! It’s the first of May and they are ready for the garden–but it’s still just a wee bit chilly. This evening after dark we worked on the garden sheds. Sheds? Yes, there will be two. Dwight’s idea is to borrow from the old hog sheds we had on the farm. It’s too hard to describe, so we will just have to wait for a picture.
2015 tomato crop–most of ’em
gorgeous!

season’s greetings, ’08
Well, aren’t we on top of things this year? November not even over and we’ve already taken the holiday picture this afternoon. Depending on how this looks as a print, we may (or may not) use it as our Christmas card.
scenes from childhood
I put together this photo montage for Colin’s high school graduation party (2006). All of the early black and white photos were originally developed and printed in my own darkroom. The rest are digital.

three generations
Mom and I traveled to Ohio to visit Grandma, who is 94 years young. She lives in a very nice facility with many activities and a very nice room. Here we are sitting on Grandma’s bed. While we were there, we took a walk out to the gazebo, met Buster the dog, and had a very nice dinner with Uncle David.
