he did it!

 another convert to book making
our leather is all small
so we piece
he was cool with that limitation
 he wanted red pages
 and i use this wonderful old (but green) linen
i scored long ago
at a garage sale
 ties off with a big plastic button 
from my stash
he has poor skills, much enthusiasm 
and is proud as a peacock
as he should be
 in my yard 
two treasures
 an old piece of twill,
 old gramicci climbing pants
on the well pump
tattered, but not rotting
yet
narcissi poking through on march 7
it was 62 degrees.
today a little cooler
tomorrow maybe a little snow.
