The Frayed Edges, June 2009
We were a small group this time, what with Deborah in Texas and Hannah home with kids (end-of-school stuff), but we had a wonderful time!
One of the first things to greet us besides Kate (we were at her house this time), was this glorious bouquet of flowers, including a lupine which are now blooming with riotous abandon across the state:
As usual, I forgot to take a picture of lunch, but you know it was good when your friends have such wonderful smiles:
Kath and I had a good chuckle at first when we saw this:
It turns out it wasn’t (as I figured, like it would be at my house), a frazzled mom grabbing something that was knocked awry and putting it up wrong, but in fact Kate’s son’s deliberate take on art.
Kate shared with us her new chicken coop:
And we got to see her still-growing chickens…just think, your OWN fresh eggs!
Her house also happens to have an outdoor shower… wonderful for our summers. Of course you know an artist lives here when there is a lovely-colored drop cloth drying on the fence:
Given that it is summer and three of us here in Maine have kids, we’re likely (SOB) not to get together again until August, but finally THIS year we are going to have our dyeing fabric day in my back yard…I can’t wait!
