Andy Goldsworthy built this!!! Named Watershed, he and his team built it this year at the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum in Lincoln, MA. If you’re not familiar with Andy Goldsworthy’s incredible work in nature I highly recommend watching Rivers and Tides: Andy Goldsworthy Working with Time (your local library can get it for you 🤓) Usually his art works are impermanent, whimsical sculptures in nature, so how cool to have a permanent installation to go see (the only one of its kind in New England!) This was a serendipitous find on my last day visiting home; so happy I got to experience a beautiful work by one of my all time favorite artists! 😃 #andygoldsworthy
Just the Orchard House in the snow 😍😍😍
Last week, Temple’s official snow count was 26.5 inches and just up the road at Karen’s house they ended up with 3 feet!! Crazy for an early December storm. Happy I could be there for it ❄️🤍❄️🤍❄️
So happy I spent the snowstorm cozy with Karen, Grammy, and Morgan ❄️ every winter I try to get snowed in with them at least once- so thankful the big storm last week coincided with my visit! 😁 Baking, puzzles, games, and that wonderfully warm wood stove, just lovely!
lots of Mama time this past week 💕❄️💕❄️💕 this was just as the big snow storm was starting!
This photo would have been prettier before we ate and drank all the chocolate! Super fun night in Boston!
Oh beautiful Vermont; I’ve missed you
winter woods ✨ I want to know what you think of a discussion that Ethan and I often have: so Ethan says he would rather take his chances hiking in Alaska with Grizzly Bear encounters rather than hike in New Hampshire where the risk of a tick bite is very high. I feel that I would rather take my chances with ticks. I suppose it comes down to would you rather be stalked by a giant animal you can see and have to evade or take it down (yikes) or, get bit by an almost invisible bug that can give you a debilitating disease along with possible lingering co-infections that are very hard to treat (yikes). Clearly both are unfortunate scenarios. I think a tick bite is way more likely. But if you’re diligent you can sometimes catch it early enough to prevent Lyme. A Grizzly attack is far more rare yet chances of survival far lower. The open meadows and small trees of Alaska make visibility better however, so that is a plus. It’s good they don’t have ticks in Alaska cause the grass is so tall- it would be a nightmare! Anyways, what do think?? Edit: I’m in no way trying to downplay Lyme disease- it’s the worst! I’m just really scared of Grizzly bears
