Artists on the Farm



Breath taking wouldn't you agree? We were on our way home from Wenatchee and noticed the moon over the lake. Of course I pulled over, and Bill generously offered to position himself over the hood of our car to get this shot while 20 cars drove by. Upon re-entering the car with frost on his 'stache, I asked him if he felt like an artist. He said, "No, I felt like a ...... tourist!"




Grandma's bread is a work of art. Every week she shares a loaf with us. She adds whole grains, so it has the most wonderful texture. One afternoon, Natalie baked with Grandma and brought home the recipe. We discovered one of the secrets to Grandma's perfect loaves....don't tell I told.....it's extra yeast.




We found this cup in the hippy camp above our house. As it ages, it takes on an artful form, and the mystery around this vacated camp grows. We ask ourselves, "Why did hippies hike a mile up a hill to dig holes in the ground to sleep?" And we also wonder, "Why did the hippies haul tubs and cups without a water source?" And of course Natalie has to ask, "How do we know they were hippies?"




Grandpa is modeling BBQ aprons Grandma made for the Back Country Horseman auction. Grandma's aprons are always a hit with the horse group in Twisp. Oh, and her pies cause a ruckus as well!




Thanks Grandpa! We like that apron too!




Wait Grandpa! That's our favorite for Valentine's Day!




And don't you fret, Grandma makes aprons for the cowgirls too!



Grandma knows cowgirls love flowers!



But we all agree Grandma's best work for 2011 was Shyla's wedding dress! There was a rumor on the farm that Grandma is considering making another wedding dress just for fun and then selling it. We'll keep you posted!
