scenes from our weekend

This weekend we said goodbye to the last three of our chickens.  We had a good run.  Lots of omelets, ice cream, and baked treats over the years.  Some horrific nights with raccoons.  Mostly a pleasure.  We are not done with chickens, we just need a break.  We also need to tare down the chicken area as the wood is totally rotten.  This is their chicken coop.  I built it out of wood scraps and painted it pink and called it the dream house.

We also got out of town for the night.  Headed to my families cabin on the coast (or on the ridge above the coast).  It's a blessing to be able to get out of town for the night.

And to have coffee with this view.

And to have your sweet make this delicious breakfast.  Polenta with tomato sauce, arugula, fried eggs, sausage, and avocado.

I try not to take it for granted.  I sit out on the deck, even if it is raining, to look at the ocean.

I'm back to the grind this week.  Working on an exciting new collaboration (details to come soon!), working on new strange shapes with some cutting boards.  Getting ready to start on our (dining)room table.  The drizzle outside has me feeling quite optimistic.
