before solstice gifts

friendly birds brought

a gift to my ditch

wild columbine

over at the new place:

a door

cedar on the outside

yellow birch on the interior

hand carved handles

the stairs,

also yellow birch,

are in

and back at home

i gathered a basket

of yard gifts

lupine, lilac, buttercup, hawkweed, rosa rugosa, iris, fern

hortus siccus

to make several long sheets

the top of the pot looked like this

nothing is wasted

gabby made herself a journal

(see how she played with the corner treatments)

for her work this summer

studying with the amazing 

don glaiser and suzanne moore.
