i went to vermont last weekend for a day of cidering at my friend miel's parents' home. i'd never made apple cider before - it was fun, and delicious! so were the doughnuts miel's mom made. hm.

the alpine flowers were so beautiful in yosemite - and tiny! you can read more about our yosemite visit in the nytimes online.

love this! from APOD.

sean and i had a really fun visit to kennebunkport with jess and andy of daytrip society. we also stocked up on great things from the store!!

i am getting a little obsessed with houseplants. we have been slowly building a new collection since moving to mass last year. right now we have a decent number of happy specimens who thrive in our not-bright-sunlight conditions, but i always want more. in the recent dwell magazine i read about a 3400 square foot house that was HALF GREENHOUSE!!

i also want these awesome planters to hold them in, from boskke (top, via oh, joy!) and woolly pocket.

i heart eley kishimoto. really, who doesn't??

i designed a tee shirt for the WPRB membership drive. support the station!

i've been looking back through pictures from the summer, and we saw so many beautiful flowers in the mountains in california.

we had a fun trip to the beach in new hampshire at the end of august. it was my first east coast "hurricane" swell surf session. surfing is really fun, but i still haven't gotten the hang of the paddling.
