| Now that Spring is here little flowers are blooming all over the place. On the trail that leads to the woods from the house, there are tons of dandelions everywhere that look like little bursts of fireworks. |
まだ温室の中にいる私のお気に入りは、パープルペトラ・バジルとマリーゴールドの苗全種類です。パープルペトラ・バジルはとても珍しい色で綺麗で、マリーゴールドはすごくスパイシーな香りがします。
My little seedlings are all growing. Some are big and cold hardy enough to be outside in the cold frame that Dave built me. My favorites that are still inside are the Purple Petra basil and all of my marigold seedlings. The Purple Petra basil is so unusually colored and pretty and the marigolds smell really spicy. We are waiting for an order of strong plastic clips that we are going to use to make a small greenhouse later this week and I should be able to move more seedlings outside then. My tomatoes are getting too big and I have so many babies that I really need more space! I also wanted to show you what I was trying to take a picture of when I broke my camera. This is Macy aka. Mama Cat. She is really our neighbor's cat but she has been living on our porch since the winter. She is really sweet and I wish I could bring her inside...... She has extra toes which are really cute. |
Ichigo, my big turtle, went into a semi-hibernation in the fall. She barely ate and barely moved around. First week of spring, she started getting active all on her own, like she has some kind of internal clock. She is now back to swimming around and climbing on her dock in her tank, eating all her lettuce, carrots, other veggies and she will now finally eat her pellet food as long as I hand feed it to her. (She would only eat those if I hid it in something else she really liked before) I have to be very careful when I hand feed her because every once in a while my finger get stuck in her mouth and it really hurts! We are taking her out for her walks again outside on nice days. This summer we are hoping to finally build her a seasonal outdoor area. |
| My camera is finally fixed! These are pictures of some of the seedlings that I am growing under florescent lights right now. It is still too cold outside to plant most vegetables directly into the soil so I have three shelves inside with lots of little seedlings that are sensitive to cold and two outdoor "cold frames" which are like mini green houses that are holding seedlings that are more adaptable to cold weather. We planted peas and radish directly into the ground last week and I have been meaning to plant turnips and more peas this week but haven't had enough time. I have to do it soon. |
友人の写真家、マーク・ボスウィックが『not in fashion』という名前の新しい本を出しました。彼の作品のレトロスペクティヴで、とても美しくデザインされています。この本は私が彼の家にいるときに感じる感覚をよく捕らえています。軽くて、エアリーで、カラフルで、リラックスできる。私の一番好きな写真は、彼の娘ビビを撮った写真です。とても物静かで大人っぽい子で、私が初めて彼女に会ったときはまだ12歳か13歳だったはずですが、その時からすでにそういう子で、いつも面白い子だなと感心しています。
この写真はその本の中の1枚で私の夫のデイヴィッドを撮ったもの。私の写真も何枚かあるんですよ、みんな見つけられるでしょうか？？？
My friend Mark Borthwick has a new book out called "not in fashion". It's a retrospective of his work and it is beautifully designed. It captures what it feels like to be in his home. Light and airy, colorful, and relaxing. My favorite pictures are of his daughter Bibi - she is so calm and mature and has been since I first met her when she was still only 12 or 13. I have always thought that she is amazing.
This is a picture in the book of my husband David. There are a few pictures of me too - can you find them???
