I just uploaded a few pictures to flickr: trip to Spain, garden photos and a few pottery pieces. I am trying to finally get my web sites integrated a bit.

Trip to Bay Harbor and Petoskey, Michigan

We went to the Inn at Bay Harbor for a little vacation last weekend. My husband travels way too much, but the benefit is that we have loads of Marriott reward points and airline miles. This helps when we need to get away. Our trip to Spain (Marbella and Barcelona) and this resort were all on points.

While we were at Bay Harbor there was an electric car parade and a classic car exhibit. The electric cars were displayed as a triumph of green technology. The classic cars, not so much. The thing is, both shows were dependent on trailers to bring the vehicles, so green is as green does, I guess.


The little red Corvette is being given away by Art Van, Hopefully, the contest is still on if you are interested...


And finally, a little mail box that was so abstract and beautiful.

This is one way to become more familiar with your local growers and support their farms. Of course, it also includes the food you grow yourself, you cheeky little victory gardeners!
