Two thousand dandelions were painstakingly plucked, sprayed with adhesive and loaded into a custom-made wooden transporter so they could be brought to a gallery and hung from the ceiling in a surreal installation by Regine Ramseier. The work was created as part of ArToll Summer Lab 2011.

The coffee is gone. Windows are open, cool air and sunlight pour through them. The cats sleep - after a long night outside - cozy on the new shag. Pet Sounds plays on the turntable.
Mondays aren’t so bad…
Dear Audrey,
It’s been too long since you’ve been around.
Your smile is contagious, perfect for a Monday.

Unwanted guests…

And so life goes… Just as the backyard is at its most beautiful and the weather is strangely cool and spring-ish: the mosquitos arrive. I got bit five times the other night before I called it quits. And yes, it’s a bit early for the skeeters, but it almost doesn’t matter, because before I become the mosquitos dinner, some other fine winged creature finds death by drowning in my rosé or landing in my salad.
Hmmm.
Last year, I came so close to buying some of these food covers - they are really an outdoor entertaining necessity in the South - but the storage factor got in the way. (As it always will when your house was built in 1927) But this year, there will be something between my potato salad and those unwanted guests. Space be damned.
Now, to find a mosquito net for my wine glass…
