the cat joins the dogs

i believe they are thinking, “whatcha makin’?” These three belong to my twin brother. Lucky guy!

the Civil War on the Yankee side

the quote is Abraham Lincoln’s…”fourscore and seven years…” St. Albans was the furthest north the war reached. It was mostly fought on the waters of Lake Champlain.

Vermont is for the dogs…

Dogs go to work. Dogs go out for lunch. Dogs at bars. Dogs can shop & some stores offer treats. The waiters & waitresses bring bowls of water to dogs while their owners eat lunch. It is good to be a dog in Vermont.

wood in an artist’s hands

is like watching magic. This is MY bowl that is being created. Jedd Kettler, of Kettler Woodwork, is an artist. I am lucky to have a friend such as he, am i not? While i was visiting, Jedd seemed a bit overwhelmed with orders. Not because he couldn’t make the bowls, spoons & wine racks…

my dream house

what more could i ask for then this? Just my animals running around, happy as i would be. St. Albans, Vermont

love in the alley
