Just the day before, I discovered the Craft in America documentary series, which is probably how I came to the conclusion that it was a good … Winter It’s that time of year already, in which I am compelled to pull up old photos of the garden. Does it seem earlier than usual? A part of me relishes the slowing down and quiet of the winter months. There’s more time for writing and making art.
