Mike's 'Big Dog' Harley

I was so excited because I could sit near the Harley, but I was a little worried about trying the helmet on.

Eat Local

Visited the Durham Farmers' Market this morning. There are quite a few organic farmers there, unlike the NC Farmers' Market in Raleigh. Strawberries had already sold out by the time we reached the front of the line! All the produce looked wonderful; lots of color!
FYI... the average U.S. meal travels 1200 miles to your kitchen. Buying locally grown food reduces the amount of fuel used to get the food to you, thereby reducing CO2 emissions & air pollution. Check www.usda.gov for a list of farmers' markets in your area.
Also, check www.MotherEarthNews.com for other great info......it's one of my favorite magazines.

Walk the Dog Arts at Pullen Arts Center

Peace Mugs

Yesterday I stopped by the Pullen Arts Center to check on the show. It will be up for about another week, so you still have time to stop by to see it. These peace mugs are in the side wall show case, don't forget to look that direction.
Later in the day I went out to Cedar Creek Gallery. If you have never been there and live in the Raleigh/Durham area, it is worth the short drive out to Cedar Creek (near Creedmoor). The gallery, gardens, glass studio and pottery studios are amazing. We are really lucky to have a gallery like Cedar Creek near by. Click on the link to the right and check it out.

H-D Custom Journal

This is an example of a 'custom' journal that I made for a friend of mine. She wanted a Harley journal for her sister-in-law. Each of the folio covers had various designs & pictures relating to Harley's. The pages in each folio were plain, for personal entries. A few pages were orange, black, or off-white, most were white.

Rainy Tuesday

Breeze is stirring
Leaves are swirling
Sun is fading, dark clouds waiting
Trees are sighing
Birds are lying low in nests in wait of rain.
From 'Rain Song', by Lezlie Evans

This orange sherbet colored lily is on a stem that is almost 5 ft tall. It was visited by a yellow swallowtail in between the rain showers.
