at the studio, we love it when rebecca’s dad, “t-birdie” comes to town. he has a big personality and heart and is one of the best story tellers that i have ever heard. every visit is a treat and he is always sure to leave us with a clever limerick.
i asked t-birdie to share his pimento cheese recipe with us today, it is said to be the best! this spread is a southern staple at any social gathering is sure to be a crowd pleaser.
things are blooming in most areas of the world right now. rebecca’s son, who lives in japan said that the cherry blossoms are in full bloom and my folks in WI said the daffodils have started to bloom. time to bust out the journals and start documenting the seasons. rather it be writing or drawing, it feels so great to archive nature’s changes. every spring i am reminded to do this.
rebecca is constantly finding new treasures on her newly acquired land.
……sharing some, she found in one of her rustic shacks
when i peeked inside this shack and saw all these old mason jars and crocks, i knew i was in the right place. i’m excited about all the tomatoes i will grow and all the marinara i’ll put up in those jars, carrying on the farm’s tradition.
on a country drive…..
i turned down a road i had never been on and stumbled across a town called bostwick. filled with with history and beauty and at the same time; question, mystery, and abandonment. it had me curious to say the least. i spent some time hunting around and admiring the layered textures this little old town offered me, not wanting to leave and making me want to return again one day.
i love the curiousness that accidental discoveries bring. not knowing the people, history, or even knowing how to get home, allows your imagination write the stories.
i am sharing some textures from my day. i spent about an hour wandering on and around main street and afar; through an open-functioning cotton gin and other buildings. throughout this time i saw one person and 3 dogs, wandering alike, the rest is still a mystery…
