Normal

This week, after the crazy rush of the holidays, I feel like we're getting back to normal.
Doctory stuff? Done! Real estate craziness? Settled! Work? Ovah!  Well, not really - just over for a week. So: time for a road trip! Ulster County, New York. Nice place to be. It's country, no doubt. But it's also a little sophisticated. Some great shopping, gorgeous scenery and wonderful food. The Gunks lurk around every corner. The weather can be imposing. Thunderclouds, black as pitch, loom overhead. The blue sky will not yield. Hop in the car, get lost and find yourself - if you are wild; quiet; introspective; outrageous; dramatic; earthy; hippie; slick; saucy; fun; simple; authentic. It's all here...keep watching.

Vacation

Vacation is over. Back to work on Monday. A good way to finish off an extended vaca? Brunch with friends. One last visit to the Farmers' Market. A wildflower bouquet. Ahh summer. Smiling yellow sunflowers. Candy-colored zinnias in shades of orchid and carnation. Fuzzy purple - or is it blue? - ageratum. Tanned burgundy dahlias with white bottoms! Snapdragons making like a tequila sunrise. Emerald bedding. All stuffed in a handmade pot the color of faded denim, kiddie pools, summer clouds at dusk.
