well...I had a bunny...
Comments (14)You know like....she died happily crushed by boxes of dishes she had long forgotten she had!!! That still makes me laugh this morning. I have this mental image of stacks and stacks of teetering boxes... Actually, now that I think about it, that sounds like every closet in this house! Why is what you need always at the far back on the bottom? I hope everyone has a good day today. We were gone almost all day yesterday, so I have to get busy....See MoreGood design always ages well
Comments (59)I can't stop playing with the ceiling in this one. I sort of like a cathedral tray in this room. After removing the Tuscan detail on the columns, I am not sold that it is an improvement. I think they were used because the house was built in the post-modernist period and any house that is designed to be contemporary to its time (versus a historical recreation) is going to be influenced by the period. No matter what the primary style is. This is why there are light fixtures that are Deco and Colonial Revival at the same time. These two houses were designed by Venturi, Scott-Brown Associates. The house in Stony Creek was designed by Steven Izenour specifically. These are strongly post modernist and the columns here are caricatures, really. The fireplace in the Stony Creek house is a single fat column. Anyway, the house above took period influences. In Architectural Record there is a discussion of the removal of the "columns" on one side of the Stony Creek house. It improves the view but it also strongly dilutes the façade. And the cathedral-tray:...See MoreSo, no one knows if this is bugs or bunny?
Comments (26)Which is why I said "you do what you have to do". We have all been there and had to leave the garden at some time for one reason or another. We come home, even after a brief absence, knowing that bad things happened to the garden while we were gone simply because gardens can't prosper without the regular attention. So we pull and pitch the damage, replant when possible or plant a new crop of something else and move on. My point is there is nothing gained by worrying or arguing (as some seem determined to do) about what may or may not have happened to these plants - cats, rabbits, loopers, groundhogs, crows, or aliens - because there is nothing you can do about it but pull and pitch them and be glad you could be there for your Dad instead.

Comments (25)<John will come in with tomatoes from the garden and make the most delicious spaghetti with tomatoes and Parmesan cheese and a salad and an apple or a peach tart, and that’s dinner, and that takes two hours.” > I can assure you that in Connecticut, there were only be a few weeks of the year that one can go into one's garden for tomatoes. I have tomatoes in my garden in the winter (when I plant them), but I'm not in Connecticut. I still have not seen a refrigerator in the house. It's extremely misleading to suggest that John gets his food from his garden - unless he does extensive canning. Or perhaps that house is only used when tomatoes are in season. A tiny kitchen is okay for a week-end house or for a dense urban environment where there are markets on every street corner so that you can shop for food every day, as I used to do when I had a tiny kitchen in San Francisco. Today, the nearest market to my house is a mile away, and so I shop weekly instead of daily, more or less. Italians generally shop every day, and therefore they can manage with small kitchens. I prefer the European style, but I currently do not live in Italy, although I would like to....See Moreeld6161
