James Lutke Class

James Lutke sculpts amazing things out of branches and wire. Today he taught a class in St. Louis. My fingernails are a mess, my hands are sore, my feet ache. It was great. I loved every minute!

Saturday Centerpiece

Meditation Garden

This is the garden that Jan's son designed and built for his Eagle Scout project. We love it.

Wait til Next Fall

Every year I look for something that will be fantastic in our fall garden. This year it's pretty ho-hum. Here's an idea for next year--lantana at the feet of the grasses.

Vacation Reading

I read these books while we were at Kentucky Lake.
--Almost Moon was about a woman who kills her demented mother. Enough said.
--The sweethearts book was okay. It's about a woman whose husband gets terminal cancer and she calls up his mistresses to help her sit with him. It could have been really good, but then it took a romance novel turn and I just didn't care for it much.
--When I read Home, I didn't like it because the characters were all depressed with very sad lives. But I've thought about it quite a bit since then, so I would say it's a pretty good book, but still sad.
Leave a comment--I'd love to hear what you're reading!

Patti's

Laura met us at Patti's for a great lunch. It was so good to see her! We didn't eat outside, but here's a shot of a little gazebo hidden in the garden.
