Fall Rains and Grass


A watched pot never boils, but all the rain this fall has helped our grass seeds fill in.

More Garden Pics


The Cypress tree, in front of the shed, almost but still unfinished. 
Pile of scrap wood, to burn. Bike leaning on chair. (Not So) Still Life...


We Planted a Mimosa Tree on 5th St. Some say it's a weed tree. 
Don't believe everything you hear.


Victor and Ben made planters on Randolph Street.

EMBRACING WHITE









The change was much bigger than we imagined. All the irregularities evened out and it became one entity.  One European-style entity.  French Barn or Spanish Castle Magic?

A reminder of what the building looked like before...



Summer Report on The Garden

Our fig tree in the foreground


We surrounded this rock we forraged from the woods in New England with some low growing herbs. 


Future firepit spot.  




Our tomatoes went pretty crazy and took over a whole patch of the garden. But they're delicious.


This is a volunteer Jimson Weed plant.  You may have heard of this plant from the Carlos Castaneda books. Folks smoked the stuff. 



After a Rain.


Who knew that the perfect tool for digging ferns out of the woods was the guitar?


The grass, in the end, grew in kind of patchy-like.  The sun really scorched some parts of the yard. We'll re-seed when it gets cooler in the fall.

Michael Mullin Will Haughery BFA Show

Michael Mullin and Will Haughery were in Ben's class at Tyler School of Art, and helped out in the early stages of renovations around the Maas Building a couple summers ago. From sandblasting, climbing obscenely tall ladders to crawling under floorboards to run water pipes, these guys have done it all.

... And they're really great artists!  Come see their combined BFA show this coming weekend.  Congrats Michael and Will!  Opens this Friday 6-9pm.
