Despite all of the holiday programming on television and the fact that I live in a neighborhood with many children and so many of the neighbors’ houses and yards are ablaze with Christmas scenes, I’m still not quite feeling Christmas-y. But Steve’s handcrafted trim is certainly helping.

A park near a neighboring school, adjacent to the Mystic River. I hope the middle schoolers take time to look up from their phones and enjoy the beauty around them.

playing with color and textures

Flowers and herbs, real and faux. Just playing around with colors and textures and even scents (that’s Thai basil in front) to make a little spot of joy. Since this photo was taken the echinacea flowers have become seeds in a bag and a small bowl of blood oranges sits next to the faux orange flowers. Amazingly the Thai basil still looks the same. And when I lifted it just now I realized that the stems had grown roots. A certain fellow in this household has an upcoming planting project as soon as I find the right pot.
