Washburn Water Tower, Minneapolis–my favorite Twin Cities landmark, hidden away on a hill in Tangletown.

Named a Moody Monday “melancholic” favorite–yowza!

One of my favorite Argus double exposures–Jack and Peter (and Jack and Peter) play in a New Hampshire stream.

Jack’s World

Jack's World

Another summer memory: Jack at Portland Head Light. It’s not quite the Wyeth painting (Wyeth was a friend of my mother’s family–more on that someday), but Jack’s pose reminded me of Christina Olsen a bit.

Yesterday our neighbor Dave, Erin’s husband, came over to help with my storm window project. Two of the windows went in last weekend without a hitch, but two more turned out to be 1/4″ or so too wide. Damn old houses and their characteristically inconsistent measurements. But Dave is a carpenter by trade, and in no time those windows were in place and ready to calk. I’m such a pathetic handyman.

Three things for which I’m thankful:

  1. Good neighbors with useful skills
  2. Choo Choo Bob’s Train Store, 2050 Marshall Avenue, St. Paul–Santa does all his shopping there
  3. “Easy” to assemble gingerbread house kits

Jack was a little less than enthusiastic about helping with the leaves. Piling them up for diving into, great; but putting them into the bag? Much less fun.

Pumpkin Wagon

The pumpkins are gone from Mother Earth Gardens now; they’re clearing space for Christmas trees. Soon winter will be upon us.

I dreamed of you last night

Pumpkin letter

Found at the Lakewood Cemetery; it was an incredibly sad, and oddly whimsical, and slightly absurd grave decoration, and much more interesting (and touching) than the usual wilting carnations. I hope that someday someone will leave a pumpkin at my grave…

updated 05/21/2007: third place selection in the Shutterday.com “Ground Score” category.

Leaf Dream

A happy accident from the Holga; I think this was actually a developing catastrophe–you can see the circles from the backing paper–but there’s something magical about its imperfection.
