This is one of my favorite photos of Sean and Nancy. Hope you enjoy it as well.

Sonnet XXXIV (You are the son of the sea)
You are the son of the sea, oregano's first cousin.
Swimmer, your body is pure as the water;
cook, your blood is quick as the soil.
Everything you do is full of flowers, rich with the earth.

Your eyes go out

Sean

Sean left us late this morning after a swift and unexpected severe infection. He had his son and brothers and Nancy with him. Everything I want to say just comes out in a burble of mess...so I'll use this instead, for now. More coherence soon, but for the moment, thank you W.H. Auden, and thanks to Mike Hurley for finding it first.

A friend of mine I haven't seen for about 25 years came up to see me yesterday, from where she is visiting her children in Boston (thanks, Kathy, for letting Mom have the car!).

We picked up the threads of our lives while doing a bit of touristing in Boothbay and then headed to the river, both yesterday afternoon and this morning before she headed south. Janet is a rock collector, among other

Oh! One Eagle! Two Herons! Three Ospreys! Oh My!

My post is late because I've had to sort through the almost 200 shots I took early this morning. And I want to put most of them in this post...but I won't. After I realized the eagle was going to stay awhile, probably, I hauled butt up the road, in my down-to-the-ground nightgown, back to the house to get Laurie. I did get dressed to head back...and all fowl were still present and accounted for.

Condehouse presents Tosai Designer Wood Furniture – the result of a blissful marriage between German and Japanese design. German Bauhaus design is the main influence of the designer of the Tosai furniture, Peter Maly, yet he instinctively connects this with traditional woodcraft of the Japanese interior. The contrasting cultures combine to produce clear shapes, uncomplicated lines and interesting twists. Stainless steel combined with fantastic quality natural woods such as American walnut and white oak characterise the collection. The tabletops also display visible ebony swallowtail wood joints which make the connection between the massive planks all cut from one piece of wood (a technique known as ‘Ippongi’). Individualistic flair with an oriental inclination makes each piece of designer furniture a work of art to be discovered. Display your appreciation of design with an international flair – choose Tosai designer furniture from Condehouse.
