SEWING THE SEEDS

I found this sunflower at the Shaker Village in New Hampshire.

BY POPULAR DEMAND. THANK YOU. THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Okay, Okay. Here are some pictures of my new hair for those of you who have not seen me without my long locks. They now belong to LOCKS OF LOVE. I never knew how badly this organization needs long hair.....I will grow my hair out again, but just so I can cut if all off in one chop and give it away to someone who really needs it. I cut my hair in September while visitng my family in Oregon. Hamish had no idea what I had done to myself.


He also did not recognize me when he came to pick me up at the airport.


What's the best part of having short hair you ask? Mornings. Hands down. Who knew mornings could be so much fun....everyday I wake up looking like this:

A DAY IN MAINE

Does anyone else see the the same amount of gummage in both my mother and I's smiles?? WOW! And, yes, I do have short hair now.

Theron, Susan & Jared

Jared came up for the weekend from NYC. We had a great time eating, laughing, and reciting poetry! :)

WEST COASTERS IN TOWN!

MOM AND DAD CAME FOR A VISIT WHILE ON THEIR CROSS-COUNTRY ROAD TRIP. WE HAD A BLAST! WE WENT ON A FOLIAGE TOUR THROUGH NEW ENGLAND.

WE EXPLORED FORT TICHONDEROGA IN UPSTATE NEW YORK, SLURPED MAPLE SYRUP IN VERMONT, ENJOYED BRATWORSTS COOKED IN APPLE CIDAR IN NEW HAMPSHIRE, COWBOY BOOTS DIPPED INTO ATLANTIC WATERS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MAINE, AND LOBSTER IN MASSACHUSETTS (THANKS SARAH AND KIDS!)

THIS PICTURE SAYS IT ALL!

OUR HOUSE!

HERE'S A PICTURE OF OUR NEW HOUSE. HAMISH IS BUT ONLY A 5 MINUTE BIKE RIDE FROM ALBANY MED. DEWEY LOVES TO PROTECT US FROM ALL THE KILLER SQUIRRELS THAT LIVE IN THE TREES SURROUNDING US. WE WERE SO NAIVE AND UNSUSPECTING OF THE NEW YORK TREE VERMIN WHEN WE MOVED HERE. WHAT WOULD WE EVER DO WITH OUT A GUARD DOG TO PROTECT US FROM THESE VICIOUS ANIMALS? ONE WORD: LUCKY!


PS- we REALLY like it here!
