serious prep

taking pictures in the dark is a funny thing, this little mama is working on family number two
i love living here. 
i got an email from a neighbor regan, who has some cedar bark i can have. 
i stop in, there is a new lovely post of paper she made for a wedding album
...and several huge bags full of cedar bark peeled off her garden fence posts. 
one comes home with me, for here and for teaching in washington.
on facebook another neighbor valerie tells me that anne labastille died friday. 
i bought woodswoman in around 1980, long before i had any idea i would live in the adirondacks or, as now, north of them.
aimee's stack before she packed it up.
i look though and see signs of our working alongside one another.
i have been packing boxes to ship west today, and find to my chagrin that i am missing two teaching moulds! not deckles, i have two extras!
