A trip down memory lane...

So as 2007 is winding to a close, think back to what you were doing 10 years ago.
I have evidence here that Dev and Collette were still at home and within range of their mother's pencil. It must have been a slow news day for us all. We look slightly bored.
Ahhh for December in the trailer...

Tessellations by our HS Students

We studied Escher for Art History this fall and the kids came up with some great tessellations. We've made them into note cards and hope to raise money for the Art Club's Spring Trip.

Leeds Castle in Kent

Winter's finally here- so let's start dreaming of spring! How hard it is to stay in the moment.

We had the opportunity to visit Leeds Castle on a moist Easter Sunday. It was just like the movies. The air was soft and misty. The castle is about a 3/4 mile walk through meadow ground dotted with huge solitary trees. The daffodils, forsythia and a blue flowers were blooming in drifts. Geese, swans and ducks ruled the place. The walk down around the moat and into the old Norman entrance was magical. Even little purple flowers grew from the rock walls. The entrance led through the wine cellar and then up into the castle.

The Fairfax's who owned the castle were given a huge land grant in the new world - we know it as Virginia.

Back at home we found that Mike had ancestors who lived in the castle and others who were imprisoned there. It's worth a visit.

Looking West along Blacks Fork

I understand a storm is upon us for the weekend. So, here is a really heavy one rolling in over the western sky. Again, done in colored pencils.
Aren't you glad we're living in warm insulated houses and apartments without the worry of hauling enough coal or wood to keep warm? I sure am.
