It is in the quiet contemplation that one truly 'sees' isn't it? I wish for you, Gail, Fred, Dan and the Blithewold team a warm and wonderful Thanksgiving. <em>Thank you, Layanee!

Like the still life, it always settles me down and gets me thinking. One of the things I loved getting to see when I was there was the sublime space you work in! Yes, I mean the greenhouse and the potting bench, the shelves, and even the old basement! Lots to rest your eyes upon in a room that seems built for contemplation, or at least good tea and cookies. There's a lot of quiet solace in winter, but I'll be in Berkeley hoping for plenty of energizing sun and that Cali light! <em>More kind words - thank you, Lynn! I think about your visit a lot and hope you'll come back soon. In the meantime please give Berkeley a high five for me (I'm so envious - that's one of my very favorite places... and where I had my first gardening job, come to think of it!) -kris</em> I love your writing, Kris.

More kind words – thank you, Lynn! I think about your visit a lot and hope you’ll come back soon. In the meantime please give Berkeley a high five for me (I’m so envious – that’s one of my very favorite places… and where I had my first gardening job, come to think of it!) -kris
