But I do many many other things. My day generally begins with a quick trip to heaven in the form of a walk . Heaven because I am accompanied but the music of songbirds, the greetings from frogs, and I get to breathe the delicious air around here. Though at this time of the year it can be flavored with the scent of the manure that has been spread on the fields.
I have a couple of rooms in which I can sew, or draw; space that I have here, that I don't have in Sydney.
Michael & I both love to visit thrift stores, yard sales and the like. It is a dangerous pastime.
Michael loves to visit a huge store, near the Supermarket where we sometimes shop. It is called Tractor Supply. ( serious hardware sold here!) Last night, to his dismay , it was shut. But he was consoled by finding, on the side of the road, a shower chair. 'Perfect for me in the barn'
And here he is happily seated while fixing a window.Michael spends a lot of time in the barn, his wonderful Man Cave. With the radio on, regular deliveries of coffee from the kitchen, his needs for a happy day are simple.
But then..... we have visitors. 2 this year..... time to go touring , traveling , sight seeing. This visit we have been to the Bennington Museum ( home to many paintings by Grandma Moses who lived not far from here. We have been to the top of Mt.Equinox the highest point in this part of the Taconic range.We also visited the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. I love the buildings that house the art almost as much as I enjoy looking and experiencing the art. Read the history of the building. It is a story of so many wonderful old factories along the Hudson. Important in the years when America was great! I had visited an old shirt Factory in Glens Falls a couple of months back, now offering artist and artisanal spaces for a wide variety of creative activities. Its history tells a similar story
