Our wonderful country life has quieted down–but just enough to sit still without feeling guilty and sitting we have been enjoying! Richard made a bed swing for the patio right after we added it, and I made three cushions: one for each side and one for the bottom. We take naps on it occasionally, but

Our Louisiana weather is beautiful! It’s warm, but bearable. When that sun is out and not cooking us, we love to spend extra time outdoors. That means, of course, we’ve pulled a few weeds, though not enough. We’re watching the garden with bated breath–the tomatoes are teasing us with their large green orbs. And, we’re

Today, Wright’s work is still considered to be some of the best truly American architecture in the country. [My Modern Met] My sister Laura and her husband, Gary, just finished building a house on the land where we grew up in Plaucheville.
