Small pleasures

The combination of 18pt Futura and that lovely grey-lavender make my day.

Don Blanding

Love the work of artist/poet Don Blanding. His poem below:

Joshua Trees

Sentries by day with bayonets on guard,

Prophets by night in attitudes of prayer;

But when the dusk spreads veils across the hard

Sharp outlines of the land they hear an air,

Piped on a Pan-ic flute, unseen and far,

An echo from and older, gayer land;

They catch the winking of an elfin star

And dance a quaint arthritic saraband.

*note: one of the D.B. books I scanned these prints from was originally priced a mere $2.50!

Thursday

ready to build a dreamhouse, who's with me?

all images scanned from a favorite book of mine, "woodstock handmade houses"

...will just have to build my own one of these days
