We had a blessedly long and beautiful fall.



The first flood hit November 8th.



The second flood hit a week later with devastating effect.



The surprisingly minimalist garden at the Milwaukee Art Museum. When I was growing up there gardens were for corn and tomatoes.




The year ended on a sweetly happy note. The snowy weather gave me an unexpected vacation. And a client gave me this gingerbread house fashioned after the garden shed I use on her property, it is filled with delicious spice cookies.
