kale harvest!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I've much to be grateful for, and enjoyed spending time with family over a good meal. More to come..... I just need to finish up a few papers!

Blaine's show, The Whelming Part I, and his artist's talk with Ray.

Not too long ago, Blaine's show opened at the gallery; it's part one of a two—the second of which will open in January. It's an incredible show. Here are a few photos:

Shortly thereafter, Blaine and Ray decided to work on a discussion together about their work. It was a really wonderful way to spend the evening, and I look forward to doing more of these discussions at Coup d'Oeil Art Consortium. 

how the garden is growing...

kale and butternut squash plant

carrot tops

Since my last garden post, I've acquired a few new plants from the farmer's market; carrots, bok choy, a lettuce green, and I'm hoping to plant one more in the little plot in the courtyard.

comebacks and cakelettes

It's been too long since my last post. 

So I made you some cakelettes:

Coming up, I'll show you how well the garden is doing!

I've been wanting to do some gardening ever since we moved in— so I recently found time to tidy up a few soil beds in the courtyard for planting. A couple weeks ago I bought an echinacea plant at the market, and this weekend I bought a butternut squash plant and a kale plant. After some weeding and turning of the soil, I planted them in their new homes; I hope they do well!
