wild rose hips, gathered from the yard and bundled at the front door.
Well friends, it’s been awhile, eh?
The equinox reminds me of balance…the settling of day and night into equal parts. And so I check to see if I’m in balance, too. Remembering intentions, accomplishments, gaps, falters…it’s a lovely time of year to do an accounting of things.
batman made crabapple jelly again this year, and i think this was his best batch yet.
There has been a lot going on around here, as we get things ready for winter, before the snow flies. Batman brush hogged the meadow, he pulled 120 pounds of potatoes from the garden (some will go to the food shelf down in town), other crops are curing and drying, I’ve done some dyeing and the houseplants out on the porch need to come in to the house.

And of course, there is much to catch you up on with family gatherings…
batman made this flower box and we took it in the back of the pickup to detroit, where it added a vermont touch to hannah and loren’s tiny wedding.
It is my INTENTION to post more often here. There will be…
the story of a wedding quilt
another quilt hung in an exhibition
some dye adventures
my grandmother’s apple crisp recipe
corazón and wilma, keeping an eye on the road, waiting for the ups guy
I’m looking forward to getting back into a rhythm of showing up here, and to hearing about how you, dearest readers, are faring these days. I will try to respond to your comments in a timely fashion, right where you posted yours.
Sending strength, hope and best wishes your way. xo
