Fresh Coat

High up on the list of Tua's favorite things is "painting" the house. It's an activity which can have her busy for hours on end. She has her own bucket and brush- and even has her own favorite section of wall, as small 4 x 3 foot area on the north side of the house. Clean up is easy....the paint itself is tap water.

High summer

Weekends this month have been scheduled with all sorts of activity. The following shots were taken over the last month at two separate events miles apart.

Tua and I at Merck Farm perusing wind turbines. The farm sits on the last high plateau of the southern Green mountains before the land drops away into the greater Hudson River valley. It's a great spot for wind power. The small turbine behind us powers 90 % of the farms resources.

We took an extended weekend in Massachusettes recently where we met up with Brian and Arlyce and a small faction of the rest of clan Menzies- Arlyce's sister Jub and brother Ben.

Saturday night found us on a back porch enjoying a calm east wind off the water and some fine salad.

Tua and Jubilee- ever the inseperable pair. This shot was taken well past bedtime.

And so was this one....

Brian at the wheel.

Back at Merck, Tua says "come again?"

Picking daisies for the ride home.
